This is an interesting thought.
Perhaps our evolutionary ancestors who evolved in high latitude areas developed this trait given that those areas see much more sunlight (and thus longer days) in the summers. Conversely, I’m left wondering if their sleep patterns differ by season. I.e. they need less sleep in the summer, and dramatically more in the winter.
- sethammons 8y agoI recently moved north. Without blackout curtains, I'm getting less sleep in summer and am much more sleepy in winter.
- remarkEon 8y agoYeah, I live in Seattle and have spent time in Alaska. I'm noticeably more productive in the summers. So much so that I've started planning sprints on projects around them.
