I hate that ‘bad dream’ just means ‘nightmare’ instead of ‘shitty quality dream.’ I had a bad dream last night. It wasn’t scary it just didn’t make a lot of narrative sense

the intimacy of sleeping together, but not in a sexual way. the intimacy of feeling the warmth of their body in a cool room. their hands hugging you tightly. the intimacy of synchronized breathing. sleepy half-kisses. feeling safe. feeling warm. waking up and realizing how much you love them. how precious this is. finding the happiness on the tip of your fingers, brushing their hair. closing your eyes again. pulling closer. falling asleep.
I've been doing an absolutely horrible job at sleep lately, and daytime me has the very best of intentions, but then nighttime me is a vapid fool who doesn't seem to care.

I don't know who needs to hear this today, but "second sleep" as a widespread societal thing in the past is highly debated. I read the main 2004 paper on which that whole theory is based, and it seemed to me that the author (Robert Ekrich) just took examples from literature, letters, and diaries of people talking about waking up in the night and doing something before they fell asleep again, and tried to say that it was a codified Thing
Some of his sources did use the term "second sleep," but it wasn't like "this is a thing called second sleep that we all know and acknowledge and experience." It was like "I woke up at 2 a.m. and had trouble getting back to sleep, so I read a book, and my second sleep was deep and pleasant." People use that term, but the phenomenon was just… Waking up in the middle of the night occasionally. Not some grand secret of natural circadian rhythms that capitalism forced us to abandon
Generally speaking, I would recommend that people be wary of any bold claims regarding the secret way humans are wired to do things that our ancestors understood and we have forgotten. Or at the very least, read the actual paper
(it's so weird. He's like "this is what the first sleep was called! This is what the interval in between was called!" And then you read the paper and look up some of the primary sources in context, and it's just. people talking about waking up in the middle of the night and using terms to describe waking up in the middle of the night, but not really much to suggest that it was actually something everyone experienced as a Known Everyday Phenomenon)
