Yes, I have read that before the industrial revolution people would sleep when it got dark for about 4 hours then get up for an hour or so, maybe have some food and then have a 'second sleep'. Sleeping for 8 hours straight didn't appear to happen. Here's some info https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Segmented_sleep

I wonder whether concussion resets the brain to it's earlier setting?
