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 have sleep patterns like we’re “required” to have nowadays. They didn’t sleep from 10 pm to 6:30 am. They didn’t have electricity and they didn’t work 8-5 shifts. They slept when it got dark and got up in the middle of the night to do chores or get some action with their partner or eat or whatever for a couple/few hours. Then they went back to sleep for awhile until it got light again. Modern sleep patterns didn’t start to take hold and become the norm until most people had electric light in their homes.
