In a way, there isn’t all that much historical data around sleep through the ages. But then again, why would there be? People just didn’t think that something so commonplace needed to be studied or observed. However, scraps of information from diaries, medical journals, philosophical texts, stories, poems, and so on can give us a pretty good understanding of different cultural attitudes towards the realm of sleep. So, without further ado, here’s our guide to the history of sleep!

But lately, I have a very full schedule. Working full time, studying at the local university, and caring for a family has left me washed up. I work strange hours. I start work at 3:00 PM five days a week and finish at midnight. I am up at about 6:00 A.M every morning and study in the university from 7:00 A.M until 10:00. Like I said very full schedule.
