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.

I guess a lot of it has to do with a willingness to embrace the difficulties of life and a mindset of whatever comes my way I’ll deal with, but for now I do this.

Best of luck in falling asleep lol

They probably weren’t bothered by most noises, as it was just part of their life.

That said, there are a lot of reasons their life expectancy was like 27 years. Sleep deprivation probably didn’t help.

Well, they’d have shelter, and if one alerted the others of danger they’d react as a pact.

There’s a stark difference from people today and people back then. Back then peoples jobs were based around survival. Today it’s alot more broad , you’re comparing a Hunter society to a grocery store society
