Can someone confirm or suggest the right answer and explain the meaning?

segmented sleep
I think polyphasic sleep would be the translation of sonno polifasico which would be the more scientific term.
Sonno frazionato sounds like a more everyday term, like segmented sleep (Wikipedia also gives alternatives)
