[eqnpqhfi] Two or more sleeps a day

I suspect many people regularly get their requisite amount of sleep through two or more sleeping sessions per day, perhaps a night time sleep and a daytime nap.

Reporting just their night time sleep seems to give a scary small number of hours of sleep per day, but the nap brings the total up to a normal amount.

Also occasional days getting more sleep.  Outliers affect the mean quite a bit.

It's interesting that the body's circadian rhythm can adapt to such a sleep schedule.

Spanish culture had notably given us the word siesta.
