    Diane Keaton’s DBA: “Constantly, I’d say every three seconds.”

    Woody Allen’s DBA: “Hardly ever, wakes up every three seconds but often goes straight back to sleep.”

(They could both be right for their own systems, by the way, but WA’s DBA offers a description that is closer to the generic situation.)
