The book talks about the need to go to bed early due to lack of lighting/evening entertainment etc and that the period of wakefulness between midnight and 4am was a time that many poems, plays and prayers were done. Oh, an lots of babies got made.
I notice that some elderly friend who are in bed very early also have a midnight ramble and then back to bed for 'second sleep', so it is still with us.
