The book, "Lights Out: Sleep, Sugar, and Survival", by T.S. Wiley is
concerned with the need for adequate sleep, Paleo sleep, as it were, in
accordance with the length of light and dark periods through the seasons.
The author demonstrates that there are many, many metabolic processes vital
to health performed in appropriately long, dark sleep periods. Thusly, our
modern life by artificial light mimics the longest days of summer, and
keeps us stuck squarely in one season, the most wearing,
carbohydrate-laden, fat-storing one. This apparently affects our fat
metabolism, sex drive, cardiac and arterial disease, lipid levels, and
more, and keeps us from being able to recover during the sleep of the long
dark season. I found it very interesting, and directly relevant to Paleo
eating patterns.
