Sleeping like ancient humans did

Where my 3 am clubbers at? I wake up between 3-4 am every day for years and am up and attem. I have tried reading/sleep podcasts/ASMR/avoiding my phone but I can’t seem to fall back asleep and I am my most productive 3-12 pm which is not an ideal timeframe 😂 By the time it’s 8 pm I’m crawling to bed but if anyone has any tricks to fall back asleep I am all ears!

Learning this—about how ancient humans naturally slept in two 4 hour shifts, with a waking period around 3am was kinda life changing for me. Now when I wake up in the middle of the night and can’t fall back to sleep right away, I don’t sweat it. I am comforted by the fact that it’s completely natural, and I try to embrace it as my quiet reflection time. Ancient humans know best.
