Answer 1

Yes in winter and every other night too. 12 hours is a long time to rest. It has been documented that some people would have “first sleep” and “second sleep”. They would wake up mid night, do whatever and chill, then sleep some more. They were much better rested and healthier because of the sun schedule.
