Love this article! There is some really interesting research on the sleep patterns of indigenous tribes. Researchers found that while studying the tribe for like a 3 month period there was only around 30 minutes where the entire tribe was asleep. Humans are built to live together in communities to create the greatest likelihood of survival. Its most advantageous for someone to be awake to make sure that lion doesn't eat us after all. So while industrialization and the workaholism of Americans has pushed us to all wake up earlier - based on our chronobiology - its probably pretty unhealthy for many.

I'm trying to get companies to realize this.

Just my 2 cent.
