Yeah, the Uberman sleep schedule is supposed to work just like that. I remember a chart that listed various sleeps cycles from a normal 8 hour at night all the way down to Uberman incorporating more naps and less sleep at night.
Really though, that would just be a hassle. You'd have to very strictly adhere to the schedule, and you could never do anything for any extended period of time.
all i know is if i sleep during the day, for any period of time, falling asleep that night will be nigh-impossible. it sucks.

15-30 minutes of sleep can make you feel energised, hence it's often called a power nap. It doesn't literally equate to a large amount of sleep though - you need a fixed amount, or face mounting up a sleep debt.
I never understood this power nap thing. I nap for thirty minutes, I wake up going, "Crap, two more hours please?" I feel like death, and sometimes even get nap headaches.

The only time I can sleep during the day is if I'm sick or if I've been up for 24 hours+
I think if you're massively unbearably tired, a powernap does have that "urgh, need more" effect. It's mostly for if you're starting to feel "a bit tired".
Me, I could sleep 24/7, easily, and never ever feel awake.
That is a tautology. You would never feel awake because you wouldn't be.
Bah, you know what I mean! Don't be so pedantic, or I'll cut your knackers off with a chainsaw
Clarity is important, that's all. Are you helping your uncle Jack off a horse, or are you helping your uncle jack off a horse?
When I have to pull all-nighters, I take 20 minute naps. You shouldn't nap for more than 20 minutes, though, otherwise your brain goes into the next phase and you end up waking up all groggy andty. But a 20 minute nap every two hours does wonders for an all-night essay.
I just want to say that I love you for pointing this out.

If you sleep on your arm, you should start to lose feeling and wake up around 20 minutes.
too true. it's what i do when i fall asleep at work during my half-hour breaks

Fool proof I think you mean
That would explain my naps all through high school.
