Summary

Ancient Sleep Secrets explores pre-industrial sleep habits, offering a unique approach to modern sleep problems. It highlights how our ancestors achieved restorative sleep through practices like segmented sleep, or biphasic sleep, which involved two distinct sleep periods separated by wakefulness, and the use of herbal remedies. This historical context is vital, considering that before artificial light, sleep was attuned to natural light cycles. The book argues modern sleep disturbances stem from disconnecting from the natural environment and losing traditional sleep practices.

 
The book begins by introducing segmented sleep and herbal sleep aids, tracing their historical prevalence. It then details the science behind segmented sleep, exploring its physiological basis and potential benefits. A section focuses on herbal remedies, providing a guide to plants used for relaxation and sleep, including their historical use and safety considerations. The book synthesizes these practices with modern science, offering practical strategies for incorporating elements of ancient sleep into contemporary lifestyles.

    When you think of Ancient Greece and Rome, what do you see? The Acropolis and the Colosseum? Perhaps the philosophy of Plato and Aristotle and the rule of the Caesars? Or the birth of democracy and the vast reach of an empire? This well-trodden history of great thinkers, military leaders, and early state formation in the classical world still enthralls us, but it tells only half the story . . . 
 
How democratic was Athenian democracy? How much power did states wield beyond their city walls? And who looked upon the systems of domination that prevailed and sought to create something different? 
Radical Antiquity takes you on a unique journey in search of anarchy, statelessness, and social experimentation in the Graeco-Roman world. Sweeping across the Mediterranean from the time of the first Olympic Games in 776 BCE until the emergence of Islam in 610 CE, Christopher B. Zeichmann introduces the listener to communities of escaped enslaved people, pirates, and religious sects—all of whom sought a more egalitarian way of life that avoided the coercion, hierarchy, and exploitation of the state. This history from below brings the experiences of ordinary and marginal people out of obscurity and radically expands our understanding of social and political life in the classical world.
