That's a valid sleep mode for some people. My wife wakes up in the middle of the night, reads for a bit, then goes back to sleep. That works for her. I absolutely cannot do this. When I fall asleep, I stay asleep for 7-8 hours and only then wake up. In the times where I've been unable to get that uninterrupted sleep.
In the case of the Navy, I can guarantee that 6+6 shifts didn't come about because of advanced sleep research, but because "it was good enough for me and now it's good enough for them".

How they rationalize it after the fact is a different story.
