Why Children Were Put to Sleep Outside in Winter and Summer. ❄️This practice was widespread in the USSR. Children were put to sleep outdoors, both in winter and summer. ❄️This practice had two main reasons. The first was the perceived benefit. It was believed that sleeping in the open air would help strengthen the immune system, and children would get sick less often. ❄️The second reason was that this тихий час (quiet hour) made the caregivers' work easier, as children fell asleep faster and more soundly in the fresh air, requiring less calming down. ❄️Even in winter, babies slept in the fresh air if the temperature did not drop below -10°C. And some kindergartens, due to the lack of a quiet area near the building, created sleeping spaces right on the roof. ❄️To keep the children warm, special sleeping bags made from sheepskin were sewn for them. In these, the little ones never got cold and slept soundly. ❄️However, parents later had a hard time because at home, the child couldn't fall asleep properly due to the lack of fresh air. So, they had to open all the windows in the house, even if the weather was bad. ❄️It was also believed that such sleep, especially in winter, was an excellent prevention against tuberculosis, which was a very serious problem at the time.
