Hello, appreciate your time.

What is your opinion on less common sleeping structures (biphasic, incorporating naps) and how could they be effectively implemented in today's world?

Are there successful examples/studies of individuals or groups currently optimizing sleep in less orthodox ways?

Dear FRiver: These are interesting topics in human sleep! Regarding napping, while they may occur in a variety of different circumstances, naps may enhance recovery (for example, in athletes) and in some circumstances can counteract the negative effects of partial sleep deprivation. On the other hand, excessive sleepiness during the day resulting in unintentional napping may indicate a sleep disorder.
