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.
Glad to hear you experienced the same.

At the moment I sleep only once per day, around 7 to 9 hours, this is called Monophasic Sleep. Mainly because of my busy schedule, I want to do so much and I have so little time. So this 2 hour fast sleep was an exclusion, I had to go to work and I had only 2 hours to sleep. Usually I sleep my 7-9 hours every night.
