So if the average nap is four seconds, the average period of wakefulness is five seconds.

What a life.

Not quite the same, and it sounds kind of hellish, but check out Polyphasic Sleeping.

The transition is hellish if you go for the more extreme versions, and you need total control of your schedule because one missed or delayed nap will totally wreck you.

Needs a nap every 5 seconds = my spirit animal.

Sorry, how in the world do they know it's a nap and not just, you know, closing it's eyes? I'd be interested in the science behind the findings because it sounds like horseshit.

I volunteer to be some kind of control group please pay me to nap

Sleeping upright sounds terrible, horizontally gets you better blood flow to the brain. So checks out.
