Scientific Power Of Naps

Sleeping throughout the day limit working time. When you a nap that is too long or takes a nap at the wrong time then you are hindering your work. Naps may benefit you, but naps also have many negative side effects. You will slowly realize the changes you have when you take naps. Ultimately, naps are not healthy for everyone. First of all, when you take a nap that’s too long, the nap will take on a negative effect. People always say that if you are tired or a bit sleepy, then taking a nap will solve the problem. However, according to the video Scientific Power of Naps, “When you sleep too long, you feel more tired, groggy, and want to go back to sleep.” So when you take a long nap, you won’t feel refreshed but you will feel sleepier than before. Feeling groggy isn’t going to help you on your work but it will only hinder you and accomplish nothing. Grogginess limits your concentration instead of helping you increase production rate, showing signs that the negative effect is starting to take action.

that fact that naps can ruin your sleep at night. Slowly, the amount of sleep you get at night will decrease and your napping time will increase. Later on, you will realize that you are decreasing the number of hours you should be getting. You will be sleeping at the time when you should be working and wide awake when you should be sleeping, also decreasing.

Consequently, after a sleepless night, you try to decrease the negative effect by taking a nap but it doesn’t work.
In the article “How Much Sleep Is enough?” mentions “However, napping doesn’t provide all the other benefits of nighttime sleep. Thus, you can’t really make up for lost sleep.” See how this article states that you can’t make up for lost sleep with naps. Many people work late into the night and get tired on the next day. All of us need to sleep a certain amount of time but some of us won’t be able to sleep that long so we take naps thinking that it will improve and make up the lost sleep. Getting the energized feeling, you still are not making up the sleep that you need to
have.

You may think that you are just going to get exactly 20-30 minute nap, but you may be getting a 2-3 hour of nap which is not recommended. How often do you think that you will be waking up at your expected time?

Naps are not healthy for everyone. Naps often will hinder your working time, yet at the same time, they will also benefit you in different ways.
