I seem to hear from a variety of people that they struggle to fall asleep at night; but the difficult to fall asleep sounds like an evolutionary downside. Even as hunter-gatherers, being able to sleep whenever and wherever sounds like it would be an advantage.
Is it a recent product of modern times and people didn’t actually struggle with it a while back? In which case, what of modern life is causing this? If not, what is the evolutionary advantage of not falling asleep easily?
This is very, very good advice. Thanks a lot for that, much appreciated. 🙏
No problem, hope it helps you sleep better! I used to love that I could stay up much longer than my friends, back in the day when I went clubbing every weekend. Once I found out the main function of sleep - flushing the brain with cerebrospinal fluid, it’s like an engine running in a closed box (blood brain barrier) - I found it horrifying and it really gave me a kick up the bum to take my sleep more seriously.
