In the hunter gatherer days our sleep cycles naturally fall out of alignment, that way there's always someone awake keeping watch at night.
I found out by ready Matthew Walkers 'why we sleep' that this actually isn't true. We do sleep naturally in a biphasic pattern, but that means one long period of sleep and an afternoon nap. Not two distinct 4 hours sleeps.
10-12 of darkness and expensive light makes biphasic sleepers of us all
I usually take my dog for a 15 min walk in the middle of the night since he can’t hold it all night.
