I can take a nap in the dentist chair, having a root canal. I can stay up doing fine detail work for two days, then sleep for maybe six hours and be back to normal.

I doubt the short sleepers who claim no dysfunction are randomly dozing off during the day. I know that is not possible in my case, as people would notice. That said, I have worked with people who cat nap during the day, but they were fully aware of it.

As far as the MRI, I’d take a nap for sure, What else is there to do? May as well put the time to good use. That’s another weird thing about some short sleepers. We can sleep whenever we like.

I was fascinated by Tolkien’s Elves, who could sleep-on-the-go; no doubt from Tolkien’s war experience, where those who could handle sleep deprivation had an edge.
