Description

What if waking up at 2 a.m. wasn’t a problem—but a memory?
For most of human history, people didn’t sleep once a night—they slept twice. Between the “first sleep” and the “second sleep” lay a quiet, reflective hour when dreams met consciousness and the world stood still.

In this episode, we rediscover the lost rhythm of segmented sleep—how candles, darkness, and silence once shaped the human night, and why our bodies may still remember it.
Perhaps insomnia isn’t a disorder at all... but a whisper from our ancient past.
