Berthing = Sleeping💤 Sleeping quarters are called “berthing” because the term comes from the nautical word “berth.” •A berth meant a designated place for a ship to dock •By the 17th-18th centuries, sailors began using berth to also mean a designated place assigned to a person on a ship •Since space on ships was limited, each sailor had a specific sleeping spot - his berth •Over time, berthing became the term for the area where assigned sleeping spaces are located #southpole #antarctica #science
