By ancestors I mean like “cavemen” in a sense. If they had to sleep in caves surrounded by a million different noises, predators, insects, and sleeping on primitive beds – I just cant see them getting any good night rests.

In today’s world sometimes we cant sleep even with great pillows, mattresses, soothing sounds, sleep aid medicine, etc. For some even the tiniest noise or light wakes them up. Thanks for and whatever the reason early hominids must have been pretty hardcore.

It’s been theorized we have a hard time sleeping because so did they. It was likely they awoke in early morning hours to lookout for predators and to keep a fire going for warmth. This makes sense why many of us still have trouble going to sleep or staying asleep, it’s not really natural for us.
