A nap is a short period of sleep, usually lasting no more than 30 minutes. You can take one any time of the day. But the best time is in the afternoon.
In most cases, napping for too long can make you feel groggy when you wake up. It’s called sleep inertia. And if you nap too late in the day, you may have a hard time falling asleep at night.
Napping isn’t only for kids or the elderly. It’s beneficial for people of all ages. And one of its key benefits is it helps you feel more alert and refreshed. This is especially true if you’re feeling tired or sluggish during the day.
A quick nap can help recharge your batteries and give you the energy you need to finish the day strong.
When you sleep, your brain goes through different stages. These are light sleep, deep sleep and REM sleep.
But with napping, you usually only go through the first two stages. Sure you may not get the full benefits of a complete sleep cycle. But you’ll still enjoy other sleep perks.
