The first humans got the best sleep

From KERA's Think • KERA
Getting eight hours of quality shuteye every night is quite literally a dream, and not everyone can achieve it. Merijn van de Laar is a sleep scientist and psychologist, and he joins guest host Courtney Collins to discuss approaching insomnia through an archaeological lens, asking how our ancestors got a good night’s rest and what they could teach us here in the modern world. His book is “How to Sleep Like a Caveman: Ancient Wisdom for a Better Night’s Rest.”
