Reply to comment by Th0m45D4v15 in TIL In the West the largest meal of the day has historically been eaten at midday. It was not until Napoleon's empire there was the "abominable habit of dining as late as seven in the evening" as British travelers reported. The British adopted later dinners by 1850 from changes in work schedules. by jamescookenotthatone

Google "second sleep" you'll find some good articles.

Apparently its the more "natural" sleep cycle without artificial light.

If I remember correctly, I think Leonardo Di Vinci would sleep 4 hours, then be awake 4 hours , then sleep for 4. So on and so forth. But it’s been years since I read that article. So it may be BS.
