Clarification - sleeping in two blocks of time was due to using wood, which will go out and lose heat after a few hours, waking us up due to the temperature difference. Industrial revolution changed that because fires could now burning all night.

tbf 8,8,8 doesn't even work you work 8 hours and then you drive home wich also takes time and eat wich also takes time than do gym and study AND THAN you have like 2 hours left for video games or some hobbies and then sleep 8 hours so no its more like 8.2.8

Primates do NOT sleep in 8 hours blocks! That’s why we have to pill or drink ourselves to sleep and caffeine ourselves awake everyday. We aren’t biologically designed for capitalism, it’s ANTITHETICAL to LIFE.

I realise when I have like a week off from work. I sleep in two cycles. I fall asleep around 23:00 wake up around 3:00 and fall a sleep back from 5:00 till 8:00.

The most important task when you were awake: stoking fires, without fire no heating. And a little personal hottake: they will likely not read much at night, wasting expensive candles is very unusual

The sad part is that 888 does not hold, most people are either stuck overtime or have to do 1 hour commute twice a day. And then still need to do chores….

long summer days = less sleep. Long dark winter nights = more sleep...

People confuse history with biology. Second sleep happened because of unstable indoor temperature, not because it was healthier. Plus, science shows that sleep timing matters, especially for children’s brain development.

Yeah the 8 hour sleep recommendation was invented for people to work better not because overwhelming research show that it benefits our health.

ppl naturally slept whenever they want and woke up whenever they want but due to sunlight, most people naturally ended up sleeping at night when it was dark and then as soon as light hit them, they woke up and started their days. During winters, they ended up sleeping significantly more than during summer times
