What Ancient Humans Actually Did at 3 AM When They Woke Up

In this video, you'll discover why humans once slept in two distinct phases separated by a mysterious waking hour called "the watch," why some modern hunter-gatherer tribes sleep nothing like the history books predict, and why your 3 a.m. wake-up might not be insomnia at all — but a very old alarm system still faithfully doing its job in a world that no longer needs it. You'll see how artificial light rewired the human body's oldest rhythm, and what it means that ancient humans were almost never sleeping truly alone.
