I can testify to this effect as well & it is well known. FlowofMySoul mentioned getting very little sleep before the day he felt rested & his lucid dreams. I did this intentionally for a few weeks (3 hour core sleep, with REM naps) a year or two ago. Very good results.

I think the term is an "everyman" type sleep schedule. A short core sleep with naps interspersed throughout the day. A great way to get into REM very quickly and for us lucid dreamers, a lucid dream. I think his "rested" feeling was a result of getting that prized REM during his naps.

Unless you have an extraordinary amount of time on your hands though, be careful intentionally depriving for later REM. It might not be sustainable. For me it was not.
