Sleep is an essential habit we human beings used to utilize. There is hardly possible to imagine our lives without this habit. Though as we people differ between each other the same way sleep patterns do.This overview conducted all around three different publications. One paper overviews history aspects relevant to various sleep patterns. Another one is research around sleep evolution infants undergoing during growth period between two and eight years age at the same moment analyzing the way models go under change. The last work is a book written all about napping habit.
Human used to spend 8 hours sleeping every day, usually by one session that is considered to be known as the monophasic approach. Stuart Jeffries, for example, states that the population has evolved and as result polyphasic sleep was replaced by monophasic one all around 70,000-40,000 BC period at the age of Neanderthal ancestors (2011, p.22). This statement has been under investigation by several scientists. Correspondingly a scientific research of Crosby, Harsh and LeBourgeois proved that …show more content…
Do we need continuous sleep or not? Those questions can be deemed to be relevant in nowadays as soon as many people tend to cheat their schedule and find extra time. My evidence is that we are being trained to think that monophasic sleep is the right path we should follow. Moreover, people has tuned ‘sleep schedule’ for their work needs. Imagine how it would be difficult to keep manufacturing in a proper way if the workers would have a random nap during work time.
In conclusion, we can state that our usual perception of monophasic sleep can be easily questioned, as soon as nature proofs that our first years of life we tend to utilize pure polyphasic sleep. Despite the fact that some researchers like Jeffries reject alternative sleep patterns. Nevertheless, the choice of what type of sleep to utilize is left in our hands so that we can make final decision by
