over the summer, i have been grounded a lot. so for about a week now i have been very bored, (that explains my re-appearance here) and i have a pattern of playing video games, getting on the computer, reading a book, and or watching t.v. and then having a nap afterwards when i am bored. now, i can't sleep for more than two hours at a time; i sleep for a few hours, wake up, stay awake until i am bored again, sleep, and wake up again. i never have a bed time now, is this healthy? and normal? 😕

i always thought that it was healthy to take short naps rather than sleeping all at once at night, that is what napoleon and leonardo da vinci did

Napoleon was not a healthy man 🙂. I thought he even had to retire because of illness a couple of times during the battle of Waterloo and therefore lost because Ney made a foolish all out cavalry attack during his absence 🙂.

according to my history teacher, taking short naps allows you to think best and efficiently but he could be wrong

Taking naps during a battle seems like a bad idea if you are the overall commander 😉.

I agree it would be better for your nerves... but I don't think it's a substitute for a full night's rest 🙂.

When your teacher said it was good to take naps, I think she probably meant in addition to your normal night time sleeping and not instead of.

If he said you should only take naps, he was wrong, or at least going against everything I have ever heard about sleep research (among other things I had a seminar on chronobiology and chronomedicine at university). It's important to get several hours of uninterrupted sleep because otherwise you don't get through all sleep phases. There are big individual variations in how much sleep (total and uninterrupted) you need, though.
