Hello! How can I help you today?<|im_end|>

I'm having trouble sleeping at night. What's the recommended sleep duration for adults?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
Most adults need 7-9 hours of sleep each night for optimal health and functioning.<|im_end|>

I've heard of people sleeping in two segments, is that healthy?<|im_end|>

You're referring to biphasic sleep. It's a sleep pattern where you take two distinct naps or sleep periods in a 24-hour cycle. While it's not common in modern times, some people find it helpful.<|im_end|>

What about polyphasic sleep, where you take multiple naps throughout the day?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
Polyphasic sleep involves taking three or more naps in a 24-hour cycle. It can be challenging to adapt to and may not be suitable for everyone, especially those with traditional work schedules.<|im_end|>
