    So if the average nap is four seconds, the average period of wakefulness is five seconds.

    What a life.

      “Morning sleepyhead, glad you could join us.”

      “Goodnight.”

        “gm bb” absolutely defensible for chinstrap penguins

      I’m guessing they still have extended awake times so they can get things done, and rest times where they’re just drifting in and out of sleep.

      Not quite the same, and it sounds kind of hellish, but check out Polyphasic Sleeping.

        The transition is hellish of you go for the more extreme versions, and you need total control of your schedule because one missed or delayed nap will totally wreck you.

        A buddy did that. He did bifurcated, polyphasic, martian 25/10, and the naps. He felt lonely and sad, and wasn’t sure it wasn’t just the lack of human contact.

        Ultimately, not worth it when one has to interact with humans.

    By an amazing coincidence it’s pretty much the same for people attending work meetings.

    Nature is truly incredible.

    Sorry, how in the world do they know it’s a nap and not just, you know, closing it’s eyes? I’d be interested in the science behind the findings because it sounds like horseshit.

    Sleeping upright sounds terrible, horizontally gets you better blood flow to the brain. So checks out.
