Want to split your nights sleep into two? Didn't think so. But I tried, so that you don't have to!
I've run a bunch of different experiments on my own sleep. Bi-nocturnal sleeping is one of the most interesting that I've done.
Bi-nocturnal sleeping is supposedly how we have evolved to sleep. Someone has to wake up in the middle of the night to take care of the children or take the protective watch for the camp.
Now, I like my sleep continuous through a full night, but I wanted to see what's possible if you split them up.
What I found is that it sucks to wake up at 1 am to be up a couple of hours. I guess most parents could've told me that, but now I know.
From doing this in two stints, I learned how my body reacts to 4 hours of sleep. I also learned that I can almost always fall back asleep.
Have you experimented with your sleep? … mer
