Do you sleep once per day? Maybe it's not natural.

This week, I experimented with bi-phasic sleeping! The premise? Maybe humans were meant to sleep in multiple sessions a day in the past - when humans had to survive amongst predators.

Most humans experience something called The Afternoon Slump - tiredness after lunchtime for most. This period of time is typically unproductive. So, instead, what if you slept during this time?

By sleeping during your afternoon slump period, you could theoretically sleep less during the night, but still total 8 hours a day. For example, you sleep 2 hours in the afternoon and 6 at night.

There have been a few studies, but nothing that would suggest that it's any better, but some people have experienced much higher energy levels when doing this.

It has been going well for me based off a week'd experiment and I'd recommend trying it out!
