Science Behind Power Naps

With a very busy schedule and too much on our plate, we are not getting enough sleep nowadays. Sleep deprivation is very bad for the health and is giving rise to a number of diseases nowadays. Diseases like heart problems, fluctuations in sugar levels, high and low blood pressures and thyroid issues have become very common in sleep deprived individuals. This is where power naps can help.

When you sleep during the day between 1 PM and 4 PM for a period lasting between ten to thirty minutes, it is known as a power nap. If you sleep longer than thirty minutes, you might develop sleep inertia, a groggy feeling. You should also not sleep later than 4 PM as then you will find it difficult to sleep at night.
