Double spacing after period is a leftover from using typewriters.
Modern usage is single space after period.

These days most contemporary style guides also recommend using a single space between sentences,
including:

The Chicago Manual of Style
The American Psychological Association (often referred to as “APA”)
Microsoft Manual of Style
The Gregg Reference Manual
The Associated Press Stylebook
