Waking up at 3 AM is not a modern sleep disorder but rather a remnant of our ancestors' natural two-block sleep pattern, where they slept from dusk until midnight, woke for the 'watch' (a period of alertness), and then slept again until dawn; this 3 AM window was historically the 'golden hour' for prayer, reflection, or contemplation by the fire, and artificial light has compressed this natural rhythm into one disrupted sleep block, making 3 AM wakefulness a 300,000-year-old biological adaptation rather than a glitch.
