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.

They didn’t sleep eight hours, nor were they expected to in order to keep a job. No one did prior to indoor electricity. It’s called a biphasic sleep schedule and the hour or two you were awake in the middle of the night was typically reserved for visiting people, petty theft and of course, a good round of whoopee.
