Whether you're an afternoon napper, or a evening napper to prepare for the night, we really should only nap between 15 to 30 minutes. You know sometimes you feel like you just can't get up yet? And that nap turns into a hour or two? You wake up, bam, you're more sleepy than when you started out...
Well, in my YouBeauty newsletter from the YouBeauty website, created by Dr. Mehmet Oz, and Dr. Michael Roizen, they explained that sleeping any longer than 15 to 30 minutes, your body goes into, delta sleep. They explain delta sleep as the point in sleep where it's a really deep sleep and when it is interrupted you'll feel more tired.
Sometimes, a half hour or less may seem too short, but keep in mind that this can help increase your alertness and help you make decisions.
They also said that a good nap gives your nervous system time to charge itself back up, helping you be more alert and improve your mood. You might not be as grumpy. and it'll help your eyes look brighter too! Schedule in some cat naps in the day, and you'll be more alert! I mean, who can resist that?
Get to it now!
zzzz.
