Health experts say that many of us don’t get enough sleep and, that unlike previous generations— who regularly got a full eight hours—we have too many distractions. Many of us have a demanding work life, we are constantly connected to our devices, and we feel as if we are on call 24/7. All of these pressures tend to keep us up at night. We just can’t seem to switch off and unwind at the end of the day. This lack of sleep results in frustration and exhaustion for many people.
But did people really get eight solid hours of sleep in past generations? New research into sleep patterns in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries suggests that they did not. In fact, most people did not sleep through the night. Instead, they would sleep in two separate segments. For the first segment, they would sleep starting when it was too dark to see until about midnight. Then they would get up and engage in quiet activities, often by candlelight, for an hour or two. They would write in their journals, check on their animals, or do some work in the kitchen to prepare for the following day. Then, they would go back to sleep for another three to four hours, waking at dawn. This practice must have worked for them. They couldn’t have gotten so much work done if they were constantly exhausted.
But this all changed with the invention of electric lighting. People started staying up later and later, sometimes until midnight, so they stopped waking up in the middle of the night to complete tasks. Instead, they would sleep through the night. Also, because fewer and fewer people were working on farms, they didn’t need to wake up as early to care for their animals. As a result, more and more people began to sleep in a single segment. Does that mean the eight-hour guidelines are correct? Perhaps, but research on traditional societies living in different parts of the world today suggests otherwise. The full eight hours may still be just wishful thinking for the average adult. Between six and seven hours is probably enough for most of us.
53. According to the article, why are adults today not getting enough sleep?
