Get rid of any ambient light in your bedroom. Any LEDs, street lights etc. Make it pitch dark. Human sleep cycle is extremely sensitive to light.

I think you are idealising the past a bit. Most peasants in most feudal stares were undernourished and harshly exploited, with average life expectancy around 30 years. Peasant uprisings were happening not without a reason...
"But this mental heuristic is known to glitch in other ways. Racism and xenophobia, for example, also recruit pathogen-detection brain mechanisms.

"Some of the calls potentially put people’s safety at risk as they were made to Network Rail’s Banavie Control Centre, and clogged up the line for drivers and pedestrians at unmanned level crossings, who were calling to check it was safe to cross the rails."
