Your ancestors didn't sleep like you.....
Was that one of you who mentioned this in one of my posts? I remember someone saying they go to bed "when the sun sets" and mentioned that's how it was done in the old days. That stuck with me (enough to remember but not enough to remember who said it LOL)
I don't do this, but I do know enough about good sleep and that it's not a good thing to have a bright light a few hours before sleeping....dimmer lights a few hours before sleeping to mimic how people slept before electricity....
I just found the article interesting, posted somewhere else by a dear sober friend, so I shared it with SR

I have a situation where I am only four days sober, and I want to sleep all the time. I don't have hangovers anymore though! I am concerned that my energy will never come back. Also having brain fog. I forgot my password at work yesterday! And then my pin at the bank took a couple of tries. This is not normal for me.
I have been aware of Roger Ekirch's discovery, after decades of sleep problems, I finally have a handle on it. My "bedtime" is now within an 11 hour window. I need to be up at 6:00am, so I am in bed sleeping by 7:00pm. Some friends now think I am boring and that I am missing out on some "night life", but I am so refreshed and feeling better in the morning while most people need caffeine to start the day. In the night, I awaken at around 12:00am and stay up for about 2 hours. Spend the time reading or working on math problems, or playing guitar, nothing too "exciting". I actually found this lifestyle helps with my sobriety as my middle of the night time gives me time to reflect. I am not missing anything.
