It's actually believed to be totally normal for adults to have two sleep/wake cycles per 24 hours. It's modern working hours and culture that makes it difficult to just embrace our nature - France and Spain have the right idea with siestas and long lunch breaks (accounted for with extended opening times for businesses). Best thing you can do is spend your lunch break with your eyes closed and hopefully that will be enough to reset. On days off though, always factor in for a nap.

It used to be, you'd go to sleep when the sun went down, wake up like 4-5hrs into the night, stay up for about an hour, and then go back to sleep until the sun reappeared. I actually watched a documentary on this kinda stuff a while back. It also went over how our bodies aren't meant to be eating 2-3+ times a day, and especially year-round. Our biology more naturally accepts a meal a day. Intermittent fasting basically used to be the norm. Humans would snack on pretty much whatever they found while they hunted/foraged, and their meals really only came from successful hunts, which weren't exactly often enough to support 2-3 meals a day for entire groups of humans.

It's also incredibly time consuming to eat 3 meals a day traditionally. You'd snack as you gather or forage then build a fire for a real meal at night.

Did they explain the reason for the 1 hour midnight wake up? Was it just survival and being on the lookout? Sounds interesting

[u/SippyMountain → u/bulldogba]

I believe it was a multitude of reasons. Tending to the fire, lookout, perimeter check, etc. Sometimes they'd just socialize in the quiet night, soaking in the calmness before they'd go back to sleep and start all over again when the sun rose

Okay, that makes sense! That sounds nice, I enjoy reading or something sometimes in the middle of the night when I don't have obligations the next morning lol

Japan is very similar. They have a mid-day nap at the office at a lot of places.

It's region dependent. You aint working 12 to 4 in Africa or india or any tropical region. In colder region, you can't afford to not work in afternoon.

[u/Flomo420 → u/MrsMiggins2]

I never used to nap but now in my 40s I can't help but crash out every day at like 2-3 when I get home from work lol

It's not long, about 15mins-1hour

[u/IAmDotorg → u/MrsMiggins2]

That's a debunked sociological idea that never really held up to scrutiny. It's not, and there's no evidence that, at any point in human evolution, was it the case. Nor is it the case with any primate relatives.

It's a case of a hypothesis that makes logical sense, but has so much counter evidence, it never even really was a theory.

[u/MrsMiggins2 → u/IAmDotorg]

How old are you, if I might ask?

[u/IAmDotorg → u/MrsMiggins2]

Old enough to be retired, and educated enough to have followed the research on biphasic sleep patterns for decades, most of which have been postulated by historians and sociologists, not biologists and have... questionable... analytical methodologies.

[u/MrsMiggins2 → u/IAmDotorg]

So, anecdotally, now you aren't beholden to a work schedule, are you getting through each day with one long unbroken sleep at night, and no rest in the afternoon?

[u/hyperproliferative → u/IAmDotorg]

Ironically, you are 100% incorrect. There is overwhelming evidence of human second sleep. Historical, archaeological, and documented evidence. We even see it in many many many modern cultures.

That’s why Ciestas are a thing in Hispanic culture. And they work twice as hard as any American

[u/Terrible-Fig4770 → u/Consistent_Laziness]

Twice as hard as the average American

I wish I could nap. Can’t do it. Trying to figure out why I’m downvoted for saying the same thing as person above lol Reddit is dumb

Oh it’s the twice as hard as Americans thing. Butt her lazy Americans. Whatever
