It's 3am. You're staring at the ceiling, convinced something is wrong with you. But the real answer is far stranger than insomnia.
For most of human history, waking in the middle of the night wasn't a disorder — it was normal.

You'll discover why electric light rewired your nights, how a Victorian obsession with productivity turned an ordinary waking hour into shame, and what your body is actually doing when you wake at 2am.
