Summary

 We've been sold the idea that 8 hours of continuous sleep is non-negotiable, but historical evidence suggests humans used to sleep in two chunks with a wakeful period in between. This episode digs into the surprising research on biphasic sleep, why your sleep tracker might be making you more anxious than rested, and how to find your actual sleep sweet spot instead of chasing arbitrary numbers.
