Dasha opened his eyes to see a book in his hand. Sitting at a table in the House of Wisdom, he began reading at once. He had taken a thirty-minute nap and the abrupt awakening returned his heartbeat and temperature to normal. Previously, Dasha followed an everyday man's sleeping schedule. A monophasic cycle, as it were scientifically called, describing the seven to nine hours of sleep working people had. It was the type of sleep best suited for body-intensive training.
Not anymore. Not for Dasha. Being "best suited" had to be sacrificed in wake of efficiency. He switched to a dymaxion cycle of sleep. A segmented sleep schedule where he slept four times a day in intervals of half an hour. Adapting to the schedule was near impossible for, say, a fighter that participated in the Heavenly Games. Sleep was necessary for the body to heal.
