Fetus sleeping is when you condense your body into the smallest amount of surface area you can get until you look like a mature fetus when you wake up.
Guy 2 : you've been fetus sleeping haven't you?
Guy 1 : what's that?
Guy 2 : it's when your body looks like a fetus when you wake up because you curled up into a ball at night before actually ever properly sleeping.

I only got 2 hours of sleep last night, but that's ok; i'm practicing Sleep Herding. I'll grabs a few naps later today, then maybe 4 hours tomorrow.

A concept of sleep camelling is referred to stocking up on sleep hours in order to later go without sleep for longer periods. It is possible that by sleeping more or longer over a period of time, your body is recharged and recovered and is able to endure longer periods of physical endurance.
Sleep camelling is recommended before a weekend of festival fun.
