We often worry about lying awake in the middle of the night - but it could be good for you. A growing body of evidence from both
science and history suggest that the eight-hour sleep may be unnatural.
In the early 1990s. psychiatrist Wehr conducted an experiment in which a group of people were plunged into darkness for 14 hours
every day for a month, It took some time for their sleep to regulate but by the fourth week the subjects had settled into a very distinct
sleeping pattern. They slept first for four hours, then woke for one or two hourss before "falling into a second four-hour sleep. Though
sleep scientists were impressed by the study, among the general pub he the idea that we must sleep for eight consecutive hours
persists.
In 2001, historian Roger Ekirch of Virginia Tech published a seminal paper, drawn from 16 years of research, revealing a wealth of
historical evidence that humans used to sleep in two distinct chunks. Roger Ekirch says a 1595 engraving by Jan Saenredam is
evidence of activity at night. His book "At Day's Close: Night in Times Past." published four years later unearths more than 500 reference
to a segmented sleep pattern in diaries court records, medical boob and literature, from Homer's Odyssey to an anthropological account
of modern tribes in Nigeria.
Ekirch found that references to the first and second sleep started to disappear during the late 17th century. This started among the
urban upper classes in northern Europe and over the course of the next 200 years filtered down to the rest of western society. By the
1920s the idea of a first and second sleep had receded entirely from our social consciousness. He attributes the initial shift to
improvements in street lighting, domestic lighting and a surge in coffee houses - which were sometimes open all night. As the night
became a place for legitimate activity and as that activity increased the length of time people could dedicate to rest dwindled.

The United States and Canadian governments are mounting a defence against Russian invasion. No, the clock has not been turned
back. These invaders are Asian gypsy months, foliage-chomping insects that can cause billions of dollars in damage. Experts believe
they entered North America from Russia last year in egg masses attached to grain vessels. The larger Asian gypsy moth is more
voracious feeder than the common North American strain and can feed on pacific northwest tree species. Unlike the flightless North
American female, an Asian female can fly 20 miles between mating and egg -laying. The United States Health Inspection Service is
barring from west coast ports ships found carrying egg masses. The Tacoma and Portland areas, as well as Vancouver. British
