• While some people view napping as a luxurious indulgence, others see it as a way to maintain alertness and well-being.
• My training involved all aspects of sleep, especially sleep breathing disorders, insomnia and sleep-related movement disorders.

An abundance of health benefits

• Short naps can boost mental functioning and memory, as well as improve alertness, attention and reaction time.
• Because napping seems to improve creative thinking, some companies have attempted to harness this by introducing napping rooms into the workplace.
• This is because these memories or skills become consolidated in the brain during sleep, whether at night or while napping.
• Interestingly, many people overestimate their time awake when trying to sleep and underestimate the time they actually spent sleeping.

Napping can have drawbacks

• One condition associated with napping longer than 30 minutes is sleep inertia – the grogginess and disorientation that people sometime experience after waking from a longer nap.
• This can impair cognitive function from several minutes up to half an hour.
• But it is important to note that caffeine is not a substitute for sleep.
• This could be related to more pain or other health factors that will interfere with sleep, sleep altering medications and altered sleep rhythms seen with aging.

Best practices

• If you’re struggling with daytime sleepiness, it’s best to address the root cause rather than relying solely on napping.
• Reducing caffeine consumption, maintaining a regular sleep schedule and getting adequate nighttime sleep are essential steps to reduce daytime sleepiness.
