Some people have experimented with the idea of sleeping in two chunks instead of one long night. This idea has come about mostly because many of us have lifestyles that aren’t conducive to sleeping nine hours a night, and history shows that two sleeping shifts were common in some households in the past. During the most extended sleeping, prehistoric people would visit friends, have sex, pray, and do other calming activities during the sleep break. Not much can be done without sunlight, so nothing too active. Then after a couple of hours, they would go back to sleep until sunrise.

Sleep is an essential part of life. It’s the time when you restore your mind and body, and without it, you can’t function properly. The more you sleep, the more refreshed and invigorated you feel throughout the day. Sleep also plays an important role in weight management and disease prevention. Research has shown that people who get enough sleep are less likely to develop chronic diseases such as diabetes or heart disease. They also have lower rates of depression than those who don't get enough restful slumber.
