What Did Ancient Humans Actually Do at Night?

Tonight you'll climb into bed, alone in a sealed room, with no fire and no group — and you'll call it normal. But for nearly every human who ever lived, this version of night didn't exist. The real story of what ancient humans did after dark is far stranger, far more social, and far more alive than anything you do today. You'll discover why hunter-gatherer societies slept less than you but showed almost zero signs of insomnia or sleep disorders. You'll learn why the campfire was the first social technology ever invented — and why something still happens to you around one that doesn't happen anywhere else. You'll find out why waking up at 3am might not be a malfunction at all, but one of the oldest biological patterns in human history. And you'll understand exactly what your phone's blue glow is doing to a body that was built for firelight and true darkness.
