Most monks slept in a communal dormitory called a dorter(Anglo-Norman French), with a stone lamp kept lit throughout the night. There would be rushes on the floor and each monk had his own bed, where he slept fully dressed except for his knife.
Monks were permitted a mattress stuffed with straw, a pillow, a blanket and a coverlet. "Night shoes" or slippers were worn in bed.
In the Carthusian order, monks each had their own cell where they worked, prayed and slept, almost completely isolated from all the other monks.
