Description

What happened when ancient humans woke up in the middle of the night? There were no phones, no clocks, no locked doors — only darkness, fire, predators, and the people sleeping beside them. In this video, we follow one prehistoric man through an entire night to see how ancient humans may have slept, stayed safe, kept their fire alive, and dealt with waking up before morning. From grass beds and animal hides to nighttime watch, fire keeping, and fragmented sleep, life after dark looked very different from the way we sleep today.
