Why Ancient Humans Slept Twice Every Night | History for Sleep

A calm, relaxing history story to help you fall asleep. Tonight we explore the
ancient sleep pattern that humans practiced for thousands of years — and why
modern life may have stolen it from us.

For most of human history, sleeping straight through the night was never the
plan. Ancient humans slept in two separate phases — waking naturally in the
middle of the night for an hour or two before drifting back to sleep again.
They called it the first sleep and the second sleep. They used that quiet
middle hour to think, to talk, to reflect. Then came the industrial revolution,
artificial light, and the idea that eight unbroken hours was the only way.
But was it? Drift off tonight as we journey back through thousands of years
of human sleep — and discover what we may have lost along the way.

Perfect for: falling asleep, relaxing before bed, sleep science lovers,
ancient history, sleep stories for adults.
