Sleep Cycles on very fast and very slow rotating worlds Part 1

How would sleep cycles work on planets with day-night cycles greater than 48 hours or less than 6 hours? This part is primarily for wildlife that evolved there.

Native animals might still sleep in sync with the day-night cycles, but those are so long, they'd have to slow their metabolisms down to survive sleeping that long. This is sort of the context for my question Does day length determine metabolism?
