Well, yes; biphasic sleep (noon siesta) is the natural sleeping pattern beyond infanthood. For extreme schedules like Uberman's, though, there have been lots of reports on odd cravings and the like — such as grape juice — that, e.g. contain elements the body would normally generate itself during sleep.

(Are you really saying that we don't know the effects of monophasic sleep?)

Yes, we really don't know the effects of monophasic sleep compared to polyphasic sleep.

I don't understand how that makes sense in context of your original comment.

I only made one comment; saying "yes" probably suggested more coherence with Thom Blake than there really was.

My complaint is naturalistic fallacy.

Erm, yeah, what Douglas_Knight said.
