Anyway, here's a theory i developed last year. I'll just paste it from my profile cause it's on that as well. So the writing may not be up to calibur (if they every were haha). Anyway, here it is:
The Morpheous Method -
It revolves around the idea and differentiation of your mental biological sleep clock, and your body's biological sleep clock. Simply put, when posed with the question: are you exausted when you wake up after a (say 2hour) nap in the middle of the afternoon? Most say no, they feel refreshed. Now, if you allow me, may i ask are you simply exhausted when you go to sleep for only 2 hours in the night time and wake up? Really, why? There is no reason. Let me tell you. The reason is simply because of your expectations, during the night time you are poised at sleeping for 6 or more hours because you want to, and even subconciously expect it. However, it is the same duration of time you napped in the day, only a different time of day. As when we toss humans in a cave we have found that the body has no natural biological clock. Therefore, it doesn't matter when you sleep or the duration of time, only that you get it. The night time is no different than the afternoon, and vice versa. It is all in the mentality, and the Placebo effect will rectify it in the situation. If you go to sleep in the middle of the night not expecting to get that much sleep, you will not be tired...seriously. It helps even more to envision the entire week as one day, and to get the same amount of hours of sleep needed in that week, but stretch it out so that you are not hindered by feeble mentality. So i bid you good night, rather good day...it doesn't matter as it is all in the mind.
