Research done in the 1990's is getting some recent attention in the press.  A psychiatrist named Thomas Weir had his experimental subjects be in total darkness for 14 hours each night.  The sleep pattern that emerged was a 4 hour sleep, 1-2 hours of wakefulness, then another 4 hour sleep.  Check out the article!
