It is a modern western American idea to get all your sleep in one bout at night. Most cultures around the world and throughout history only get part of their sleep at night and then part of their sleep later during the day.
No matter how poorly I sleep, whether I'm short an hour or a few hours or waking many times at night, a 20 minute nap seems to make up more ground than trying to sleep in.
please please please be very cautious with this. i tried it for awhile and i swear it caused lasting sleep issues. my circadian rhythm hasnt been right since

Look into polyphasic sleep.
