Sleeping Beauty

If a nap lasts 24 hours, can that nap rightly be called a "nap?" What if that "nap" had been preceded, only hours before, by a full night's sleep of 8 hours? What if that 8 hours of sleep itself had been preceded by a 3 hour nap, which itself had been preceded by 10 hours of sleep? What if the 24 hour nap, then, was followed by 12 hours of sleep? What if, in the space of 72 hours, a person slept 57 hours? Shouldn't all of this more rightly be called "hibernation?" Since humans do not hibernate, then something else must be going wrong. I await the count of my various types of cells, captured in lovely tubes of red, to learn if something actually is wrong, or if my mother was correct all of those years and that I am actually just inordinately lazy.
