4 Things You Probably Didn’t Know About 15-Minute Naps.
Let’s be honest: the idea of taking a 15-minute power nap sounds awful. Waking up from naps, in general, is commonly associated with the feeling of grogginess. Therefore, naturally, there is no way a mere 15-minute nap would leave you well rested and ready to tackle more obstacles the day has to offer. Right?…Wrong. Here are 4 points you probably didn’t know about 15-minute power naps.
1) No grogginess: Sleeping for 15 minutes welcomes you back to wakefulness with no symptoms of grogginess. Why is this, you ask? Simply because the longer you nap, the further you drift into deeper stages of sleep. In fact, contrary to popular belief, grogginess is not caused by mid-day naps, but rather waking before the end of a sleep cycle.
2) No pain, more gain: Many argue that a nap puts a void in the middle of the day. This could be true if you plan on sleeping 1+ hour(s). On the other hand, if you sleep for 15 minutes, there is no void… not to mention you wake with more energy!
3) No interference with evening rest: A big complaint when it comes to daytime napping is that it throws off the regular evening sleep schedule. This is usually the case when 1 or more hours of sleep are indulged in, earlier in the day. Luckily, 15-minute naps have little-to-no effect on your nightly sleep!
4) It’s healthy: The School of Public Health at Harvard University recently conducted a study where it was discovered that people who take powernaps are 34% less likely to die of a heart-related problem.
