As always, context is key. I seem to remember this BBC article discussing it as a sleep tool used generations ago.
It would appear that humans in winter months - when there are fewer hours of daylight - seem to favour splitting into two shorter sleeps with a productive waking period in the middle, where people are now encouraged to do a task (read, do the dishwasher, load the dryer, whatever) before returning to sleep.
It doesn’t quite fit my setup there but there are some interesting points raised.
My sleep’s been terrible for ~2 years now… basically got down to stints of 2~3 hours at a time.
It’s getting better, but I’ve been fretting that I need 8 hours (or at least 7.5) in a single block… didn’t know about the 4 hour thing.
Got any info on that? (I’ll take a look on t’interwebs, but can’t trust half the crap on there these days)
