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.
16 0 ReplyThe 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.
