Before the advent of electrical lighting in modern times, humans historically had a stable time during the night in which there is little light. This helps them stabilise their circadian rhythms and keeps them synced to the natural day/night cycle.

Modern humans often use electric lighting during the night. This can cause difficulty sleeping, as the body thinks it is still daytime even if it is already midnight, and is the reason why people often experience the desire to sleep later and later each day. For monophasic sleepers, a relatively stable, albeit short, dark period can be maintained during their sleep hours, which prevents their body clocks from going totally haywire.
