Is it better to sleep a full night or take multiple naps?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sleep: It's always better to get a full night of sleep. However what is important is to have rem sleep at least 3-4 times in the cycle. This being said some people who have "catnaps" do fine as with each nap they have rem sleep.
