I've tried the catnap approach after new kids are born and I don't recommend it. I can't nap unless I'm exhausted, so I basically ended up really tired all the time. 30 minutes of sleep doesn't cut it for me, even if I get six or seven of those naps. Well, at least it doesn't cut it if I want to be at a happy high-output temperment.
As anyone who has gone through basic military training can tell you (I haven't), you are really tired when you fall asleep while standing up. I've gotten that tired for other reasons than military training though.
