Listen "THE HISTORY OF 2 SLEEPS & THE ARTIFICE OF SAVING TIME"
Episode Synopsis
The practice of 2 sleeps, also known as biphasic sleep isn't some newfangled practice. It's ancient and research has shown it has existed throughout the world. So what changed and why is it worth rediscovering? Could this be a healthier sleep pattern for some of us? And, how does this forgotten habit converge with a major turning point in history and the continued vexing practice of changing times twice a year?
