How Long to Nap for the Biggest Brain Benefits!

For a quick boost of alertness, experts say a 10-to-20-minute power nap is adequate for getting back to work in a pinch. For cognitive memory processing, however, a 60-minute nap may do more good, Dr. Mednick said. Including slow-wave sleep helps with remembering facts, places and faces. The downside: some grogginess upon waking. Finally, the 90-minute nap will likely involve a full cycle of sleep, which aids creativity and emotional and procedural memory, such as learning how to ride a bike. Waking up after REM sleep usually means a minimal amount of sleep inertia, Dr. Mednick said. - See more at: http://beyondblindfold.com/how-long-....r2bUqeYx.dpuf

i attempt to nap longer than the nap is so the naps i ever take are pointless cos i waste energy turning a nap into the time i wasted attempting to nap
