I've been able to master short cat naps. 30 min to recharge the batteries. Sounds kinda weird but I can do a sort of a meditation state where I'm not actually sleeping but not actually awake either... in the gray zone of sleep and awake.
Reminds me of some lyrics from this song:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vb0-BoYCvG4
"That moment of sleep
When you think you're awake
That threshold of pain
You know you can take." When I do go into a deep sleep, a tornado spin down the street and I'd probably not notice.
One thing I did realize was when my kids were little. I could be in a deep sleep with earth shattering thunderstorms passing by with no reaction but any peep out of the kids from the baby monitor, I snapped awake.
Funny how the brain works... While it's recharging it would ignore regular stuff deemed not important but any peep from the kids or odd noise in the house it would snap me into awake mode.
The human body, with all its workings, is the most complicated and the most amazing thing ever invented. It even comes with a free belly button.
