Humans have only slept in a single block for about the last 200 years. Prior to the Industrial Revolution, humans in the west typically had two sleeping periods each day. First Sleep would go until midnight. Then they would wake-up and spend two hours visiting neighbors, writing, and doing household chores. Then they would return to bed for Second Sleep until the morning. Now we just have Sleep.

Yes, biphasic sleep. It became obsolete with the spread of electrical lighting.

I just read the article. Sounds good to me.
I think I could make time to wake up for two hours of sex and then have another four hour nap
It did't it mention having a beer between your sex and second nap, but i think that could catch on too

Humans have a useless ass organ called the appendix. All it does is explode and kill you.

Society should be more considerate toward the people who identify themselves as 300 years old.
