Nearly all predators spend large portions of their day sleeping, why would humans have been different?

- zeroonetwothree 3mo agoBears sleep about 7-8 hours/day, similar to humans.
- quietbritishjim 3mo agoWell that's a purely intellectual question, given that empirical data on human hunter gatherers. But I'd guess it's because (1) humans aren't purely predators, we're have a mixed diet with plants too, and (2) humans hint in a fundamentally different way to most predators, by chasing their prey to exhaustion over several hours rather than outrunning them over a few minutes.
