For most of human history, humanity always had a bi-phasic or mult-iphasic sleep pattern. Only with the industrial revolution, and the need to maximize daylight usage, did we stop taking naps and started just going through our entire sleep schedule in one block. Plenty of research showed that a daily nap of as little as 30 minutes was extremely beneficial. Now we're rediscovering the wheel... again.

You can't expect them to remember that. They have not been napping since that report came out.
