Sleep begets sleep...yeah right!

I have heard this statement many, many times, but I feel like for DS it just isn't true. If he takes many (5-6) small naps mostly 30 min each, maybe up to an hour, he sleeps great during the night (10ish-5/6, back down til 7-9). I know they say around 3 months or so babies take fewer (around 3), but longer naps, but if I let DS sleep 2-3 hours straight he wakes up an extra time or 2 usually during the night. He also seems to be more difficult to get back to sleep when he wakes. Anyone else go through this? I know they say to let them sleep, but for my own sake I prefer the better nights sleep!!
