They napped without guilt, ate lots of protein...and never worried about getting eight hours sleep!
The main idea of "How To Sleep Like a Caveman" is that modern anxieties about sleep might be misplaced by evolutionary standards.
The book draws upon studies of hunter-gatherer tribes who often experience significant periods of wakefulness during the night without seeming to suffer negative consequences. This challenges the notion that humans are biologically programmed for uninterrupted sleep.
Instead, the book suggests that our modern sleep issues may stem from cultural pressures and lifestyle choices rather than inherent biological limitations. By embracing a "caveman" approach to sleep - accepting natural wakefulness and avoiding excessive stress about sleep - we may be able to overcome insomnia and cultivate a healthier relationship with sleep.
