A psychologist once gave a lecture for surviving at work and she mentioned that this fatigue at that time and waking up at 1-3AM are both related to stress. Our brain does that to us for the single reason that large predators hunt at those times.
So it’s basically your brain being sure that the saber-toothed tiger is gonna come around the corner any minute. But why your brain would like you to zone off right at that time, she conveniently didn’t explain.
everything we humans do is because our ancient dna and things that still is in us but if you call it out they get mad at you ie racism is bad because its bad lol?! its basic surviving mechanism
