Our hunter-gatherer ancestors must have gotten more sleep than today’s humans, right? Here’s what researchers discovered about sleep patterns.
Before humans invented daylight savings, our early ancestors slept according to waxing and waning daylight.
After weeks of bad sleep I’d had enough. Every morning I woke up tired and every evening I struggled to switch off my overactive brain, unable to drift off into a merciful unconsciousness. The…

Think our prehistoric ancestors slept more than modern humans? A new study busts that myth.
George Washington slept in Ste. Genevieve? Sort of. . .His "likenesses" slept--sleep--here. . .I bring it up because there is a connection to my Ruddle family, who ended up in eastern Missouri, when it was Spanish territory but dominated by the Colonial French and Creoles. The Ruddle/Ruddell family knew Washington, living across the river from George's grandfather in the Shenandoah and Watauga Valley. My ancestral grandfather, George Ruddell, served under Washington in the French and Indian Wars, as well as the Revolutionary War. . .Wrong side in the French and Indian Wars? If you're Colonial French? . . .But, it all worked out in the end. . .After all, the French joined the young Americans in their quest for freedom from England. . .After the war, in the 1790s, the Ruddells, Birds and Bryans (my relatives) saw the potential in Spanish Territory, moving their families here, obtaining land grants after swearing their allegiance to the King of Spain. My Missouri Ruddles lived under four flags during their lifetime. . .British, American, Spanish, and French. . .and then American again. But. . .back to Washington. . .Whether he actually chopped down a cherry tree or not. . .he's always had my admiration. . .long before I knew his association with my ancestors. . .What a surprise when Kandye at Sassafras Creek Originals gifted me with a handmade band box with George's likeness on it for my birthday! . .I have long admired her band boxes, the Washington one my favorite. . .seen here alongside one of her Washington journals. . .They look great together! The likenesses of George Washington are now sleeping at Heil House. That's not the end of the story, though. . .for Washington DID sleep HERE. . .at the home of my ancestral cousin, Elizabeth Taliaferro, who was married to George Wythe of Williamsburg, Virginia. Wythe House, Headquarters of George Washington, Sept 1781 Wythe House, Colonial Williamsburg, VA The Wythe home (located just a few hundred yards away from the Governor's Palace in Williamsburg) was pivotal in the years leading up to the Declaration of Independence, a document George Wythe was the first to sign. Key historical figures often stayed at the house as Wythe's guest. Wythe also tutored Thomas Jefferson here and was the professor of law at the College of William and Mary.

People often lay awake at night worrying about not going back to sleep, but it could be totally normal. Some historians say that eight hours of sleep every night is a modern myth, and we once slept in two shifts with a period of wakefulness in between.
