It’s 2 a.m. You’re awake. Again. You’ve already solved world hunger, redesigned your kitchen, and cast the reboot of Golden Girls. Still no sleep.

Good news: You’re not an insomniac—you’re historically accurate. Before electric lights and 9-to-5 jobs, people regularly woke up in the middle of the night. It was called biphasic sleep. Very trendy. Circa 1500.

Maybe your bladder isn’t betraying you. Maybe you’re just living like a medieval monk.

Curious? Listen as I explain.
