The Reason Naps Work
- Napping helps our brain clean up excess waste products, or ‘brain junk’, providing the brain with replenished energy stores.
- They prevent instability in the neurological networks.
- Longer sleep which involves the REM (Rapid Eye Movement) stage helps in our long and short-term memory, strengthening new connections and motor skills.
- Frequent napping may cause insomnia and high blood pressure in some people, so one can check how their body functions before building a napping habit.
