【题目】 Have you seen your horse prepare for winter? Although it is getting warmer and warmer, many animals are still hibernating (冬眠). It’s too bad that humans can’t hibernate. In fact, we humans almost did.

According to Graham Robb, a British, who has studied the sleeping habits of the French farmers, in the past, farmers in France liked a half-state of human hibernation. As soon as the weather turned cold, people all over France would shut themselves indoors and practice the forgotten art of doing nothing at all for months.

Jeff Warren, a producer at CBC Radio’s The Current, tells us that the way we sleep has changed greatly since the invention of electric lighting. The business of eight hours continuous sleep is a modern invention.

When historians began studying the texts of the Middle Ages, they noticed something regarded as “first sleep”. Now scientists are telling us that people in ancient times most possibly slept in separate periods.

In the past, without the electric light, humans went to sleep when it became dark and then woke themselves at midnight. The late night period was called “The Watch”. It was when people actually kept watch against wild animals, although many of them simply moved around or visited family and neighbors.

Some sleep researchers think that a short period of insomnia (失眠) at midnight is not a problem. It is normal. Humans can experience another state of consciousness around their sleeping, which happens in the short period before we fall asleep or wake ourselves in the morning. This period can be an especially creative time for some people. The inventor, Thomas Edison, used this state to invent many of his new ideas.

Playing with your sleep patterns can be dangerous, and it will lead to worries. Medical science doesn’t help much in this case. It offers us medicines for a full night’s continuous sleep, which sounds natural; however, according to Warren’s theory, it is really the opposite of what we need.
