Welcome to the Bob and Sherry Show. Oh, wow. Isn't that great? It is pretty great. With Bob. What can he do? Lord knows it all remains we seen. He's a massive potential. And sherry. Whoa, live one. And now from the fallacious Bob and Sherry studios, it's Bob and Sherry. Welcome to the Bob and Sherry show. I hope everybody got a really good night's sleep last night.

You know, it's very important to feel good all day long. I got a very good night's sleep.

Was it you, Sherry, who brought up the idea of segmented sleep? I read this really fascinating

article in the Atlantic magazine. And I said, where have I

heard about this before? And I think it was you. The magazine article talks about segmented sleep.

You know, many people will wake up in the middle of the night and all of a sudden they start

ruminating about things that are

going on in their life and some of it's positive, some of it's negative and all this and that.

But evidently, back in pre-modern times, like in the 16th century, this was a common thing

to have sleep segmented into two different portions.

The person would go to sleep like as soon as the sun goes down, right?

Because there was no electricity, of course, back then.

And then might wake up like around 3 o'clock in the morning and use the bathroom if they had some sort of a bathroom.

And they might pray and they might get frisky if they

have a partner there, and they might just reflect on their life, they might do a little

housework, and then go back to sleep and sleep for another five hours, and then get up and face the day.

And evidently, it is a really effective way to feel good.

And it was killed when the Industrial Revolution came in,

and the bosses in the factory started saying,

y'all going to be here at 7 a.m.

And you're going to work until 3 in the afternoon or later.

And then you can go home.
