In this short interview, the host (Speaker B) asks Dr. Carolina Reis about a unique family trait related to sleep, an area important for longevity. Dr. Reis explains that her family can fall asleep anywhere, even in noisy environments, and can quickly recover from short naps. She shares a vivid anecdote of the family dozing off during an evening mass, all with heads drooping, despite having attended the service earlier in the day. The conversation highlights the concept of a "disco nap"—a brief, restorative nap that leaves one ready to resume activity—presented as a playful yet potentially longevity‑enhancing habit.

share a very interesting family trait, one around an area important for longevity, namely sleep. Can you tell us more about that?
Sure. Yeah, that's a very funny trait because we have this ability to fall asleep everywhere. You know, it doesn't matter if it's like super noisy, whatever the location. Sometimes, you know, we all fall asleep. There was one One occasion that we went to a mass and we were all like seated at the same bench and I looked to my parents, I looked to my brothers, everyone was like, no, the head hanging down.
And this is in the morning, so you slept at night or were you all out the night before?
No, this was usually, we used to go at 7 PM, so I think, I don't know, you are like walking around the whole day at the time that you and you stop.
And is it one of those, as my grandfather would call, 40 winks? So it's like the few minutes and then you're up again and you're fine? Or is everyone passed out for an hour?
No, no, I'm like that. I'm just like, take a short nap and then I wake up and I'm ready to go out and dance, you know, to conquer the world again.
I love it. As my Spanish friend calls it, it's called the disco nap.
