Studies suggest that excessive naps during the day are associated with heightened Alzheimer’s dementia risk. The study’s senior adults possibly developed the illness by 40% more following daily napping. Additionally, a concern about naps is how daytime sleep alters nighttime sleep. Excessive sleeping during the day can also hurt the ability to fall or stay asleep at night.
According to a review in 2019, naps are good for improved mood. They also enhance one’s performance in logical reasoning, symbol recognition, and reaction time. A study in 2015discovered that after waking from an hour’s midday nap gave more frustration tolerance and was less impulsive than the individuals that watched a documentary rather than sleeping. Furthermore, regular nappers show bigger performance improvements after a midday nap than those who do other things. I advise my clients to have a nap before 3 pm to enhance their night sleep.
