Hey,
I didn't realize there was a name for the way I sleep when I'm working shift work. I'm on call on certain weeks to work at any given time, and my regular job is a 7am-5pm m-f drill. During the big snow storm up in the Toronto area a few weeks ago I was working midnight to noon every day for about nine days. Quite monotonous work I must add.
Anyway, I typically slept from 4-10 PM, and then caught about 1 hr of sleep between 2 and 5 am on a regular basis. I had GREAT energy that whole week! I realize it's not an extended pattern at all, but I was surprised how much an hour nap would do.
One tip: if you typically shut off your alarm clock without knowing it, put it on the other side of the room. Mine's loud and annoying and I have to get up and walk a few steps to turn it off... work's every time!
