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.
