Throwback Thursday: Getting Up in the morning

Detail from Le livre de trois vertus
I'm envious of someone who can employ three servants to help them get up in the morning. I'm also curious as to why this chick is lying on top of all the bedding rather than being tucked in as would be common today. And why she needs the additional two servants who are just standing there looking on. But who am I to criticize? I haven't amassed enough wealth to employ even one servant for any reason, and I have no four post beds.
