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.”

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 if 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.
