| > The article doesn't really claim that this kind of sleep is better or more natural It does: "the benefits of dividing up sleep" "single periods of slumber might not be 'natural'." THIS article soft-peddles such claims biphasic sleep is better and more natural ONLY because those theories have been largely discredited since it was first put forward. Try an older article: "Ekirch believes many sleeping problems may have roots in the human body's natural preference for segmented sleep" "a consolidated eight-hour sleep may be unnatural" https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-16964783 > Is the idea that it was common now thought to be false? Yes, that part is likely false, too: https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2015/10/the-many... |
