This is so interesting. I guess I;d never though about how those people in the Bible sleep. Obviously, based on this post, there are even different "types" of sleep. I think it would be really interesting to hear an expert's thoughts on this matter. To read an academic study comparing the different types of sleep would be really fascinating.
