>Yep exactly. The trick of course is if you can get your brain to move though the sleep cycles quicker you can replace more time with the naps.
>There are a lot of things they know about sleep these days - from wikipedia says this is what's generally needed:
>Newborns (0–2 months) 12 to 18 hours
>Infants (3–11 months) 14 to 15 hours
>Toddlers (1–3 years) 12 to 14 hours
>Preschoolers (3–5 years) 11 to 13 hours
>School-age children (5–10 years) 10 to 11 hours
>Adolescents (10–17 years) 8.5 to 9.25 hours
>Adults, including elderly 7 to 9 hours

>Now supposedly this is just an average ..and an average if you sleep all in one block. .but those numbers sure don't apply to me. First of all they're all way to high and I myself needed more sleep as an adolescent than I did as when I was a school-age child. And 9 hours a night? Who in their right mind sleeps nine freakn hours a night? Geeze I'd feel so guilty about sleeping my life away...that I wouldn't be able to sleep at night! aaaahhh!

me being another one of the nappers, my sleep cycle is altered like crazy if I can get in some heavy duty bodily work. When in the twens I was famous for being always available to help somebody moving - even if I was a sports nut back then, the 1 or 2 times a month walking with a heavy load 10H per day or lifting something heavy with 1 or 2 other guys gave me a much deeper sleep for 2 days - no comparison even to weight training or endurance sports. And back then I learned that being in bed for at least 10H per day is good for you: you can doze off and wake up again ;-))
