The nap is as everyone knows that short period of rest during the period of activity (the day for most people, so). The feeling of drowsiness usually occurs early in the afternoon, even though lunch was mild or absent. There seems to be a genetic programming. It may be fun to notice that the rest of the time is that of mountain gorillas. Health professionals agree that it is beneficial, not only for children and the elderly.
A nap of 10 to 20 minutes between 13 and 15 hours lowers levels of stress hormones. It also participates in muscle recovery. Finally, it plays a significant role in the restructuring of neurons. Therefore, it improves memory and concentration (Institute of sleep and alertness, 2009). For Dr. Eric Mullens, sleep laboratory in Albi, "nap time is a physiological rest for our organization. In people who are sleep deprived, it is essential to stay fit and effective until the evening. "
In his guide Sleep well, live better, INPE (National Institute for Prevention and Health Education) notes that "in France, the nap is almost taboo while in Japan, some companies make it mandatory." The Inpes even adds that "after lunch, a 20-minute nap would reduce the risk of traffic accident or work, improve memory, freeing creativity, dissolve stress, rebalance the functioning of the nervous system and is good for digestion and heart.
