I still tilt toward the "hate to lose time out of all the stuff I want to do" side vs the "boy, could I use a nap" position, but the margin between them keeps getting more and more narrow all the time.

Having always liked my siesta in Greece, and latterly Spain as well, I recently read something about "two sleeps" being the normal thing for humans until quite recently. Google it! I intend to experiment with this soon. Go to bed when it gets dark, get up if/when you wake up, go to bed again when you feel ready to, get up in the morning, when it gets light. It sounds rather natural, and might be quite good for people.
On an episode of Jack Benny's television show, he complained of feeling run-down. Don Wilson asked how much sleep he got every day. Jack said something like, "Well, let's see. Yesterday I got four hours. On Friday I got five hours…" When Don said Jack's problem was not getting enough sleep at night, Jack replied, "Oh, at night I get eight hours!"
+Scott Randel Good one. Turning to more dangerous people, Mrs Thatcher used to boast about only getting 4 hours sleep per 24 hours. Turns out she also drank half a bottle or so of Famous Grouse a day and was barking mad as a result of the two things. Twats here still worship the barking mad old bag, though.
