Slumbered Sleep

1.2 JOURNEY OF SLEEP
Humans’ sleeping habits
evolved along with civilizations.
The evolution of sleep is said to
have been influenced by cultural
changes, migration, and technological
development. From
ancient Egypt until the modern
day, sleep has evolved simultaneously
with human evolution.
The Egyptians built temples to
honor the goddess Isis as early
as 800 B.C. There, worshippers
and priests gathered to discuss
dream interpretation. Sleep-related
deities such as Hypnos
and his Roman analogue Somnus
were also worshipped by
the Greeks and Romans. (Arianna
