So if the average nap is four seconds, the average period of wakefulness is five seconds.
What a life.

“gm bb” absolutely defensible for chinstrap penguins
I'm guessing they still have extended awake times so they can get things done, and rest times where they're just drifting in and out of sleep.
Needs a nap every 5 seconds = my spirit animal.
Is there a way to learn this power?

Not quite the same, and it sounds kind of hellish, but check out Polyphasic Sleeping.
The transition is hellish if you go for the more extreme versions, and you need total control of your schedule because one missed or delayed nap will totally wreck you.
A buddy did that. He did bifurcated, polyphasic, martian 25/10, and the naps. He felt lonely and sad, and wasn't sure it wasn't just the lack of human contact.
Ultimately, not worth it when one has to interact with humans.
You can solve that with online friends in many timezones
So penguins would be bad drivers.
No wonder they are flightless
Waiting for the autopilot update
These guys use PWM - penguin wakefulness modulation
So, like they take really long blinks?
Sorry, how in the world do they know it's a nap and not just, you know, closing it's eyes? I'd be interested in the science behind the findings because it sounds like horseshit.
I volunteer to be some kind of control group please pay me to nap
That's basically what having a newborn is like
Sleeping upright sounds terrible, horizontally gets you better blood flow to the brain. So checks out.
I had a guy fall asleep while talking and standing. he just ... trailed off. #basictraining

By an amazing coincidence it's pretty much the same for people attending work meetings.
