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.

Tell your parents that watching TV, playing video games and getting no excersise, what-so-ever, is detrimental to your psychological well-being.

Then kill a kitten, scatter its intestines around the living room and say: "I told you so."
