I knew about going to bed at sundown and getting up with the sun, but not 
that middle part. Wow! Good stuff.

One thing I got out of a karate magazine, so it must be true, was that our 
hearing is most acute about 4 in the morning when every other system is at 
its lowest. It was a whole daily cycle. I don't know where the author got it 
from but it was interesting.

Although I don't actually live this way, the thing to do is turn off your
electric lights after the sun goes down.  A fire or candle is OK, but
you'll
probably find that you want to go to bed not long after sundown.  People
would
sleep early, wake up in the middle of the night and talk, make love, think,
etc., then sleep again until dawn.
