Bad puppy! That's a horrible idea! I love to sleep and wouldn't be happy with only an hour. I just love to luxuriate in a long, deep sleep.

There is a hybernation instinct in humans, also. In people of Scandanavian and Irish descent the incidence of Seasonal Affective Disorder is much higher than that in African ancestry people. The symptoms are sluggishness, irritability, and need for increased sleep. When the lights go out up north, we want to sleep more.

I'm Scoth/Irish/Dutch. But I love sleep all year long, and also love midday naps, so maybe this needs re-thinking, since my love affair with sleep does not correlate with daylight. Except I have insulated blackout curtains in the bedroom, so it is nice and dark for those naps. Hmmm....
Now I'm sleepy and want a nap.
