If You Lived in Colonial Times

The most challenging thing I would have to go through is what I would have to sleep on.The adults sleep on whats called a jack-bed.The jack-bed was very short to save space,and it was also high up so that way the kids bed could slide under it.The kids bed was called a trundle bed.The trundle bed would slide under the jack-bed.Babies would sleep in their cradles near the fireplace.Older children would sleep in the attic on either a mattress filled with feathers and bits of wool or can sleep on bags filled with straw.
