2. Introduction Sleep is something important that people do every day from Monday to Sunday in a certain period. It canât be denied that sleep is one of the most powerful weapons to restore energy to your body. With sleep, your body has time to rest especially if you can sleep during the day. Not just to relax your body but also useful to calm nerves strained by the activities that you do. Taking a nap is a common thing to do when you feel sleepy during the day. âWhen you can't figure out what to do, it's time for a nap.â said Mason Cooley. But it depends whether or not napping is good for you.
3. Normally, people have night sleep but some others sleep more by taking a nap. Many people think that napping is such a waste of time and only young children do that. In fact, a nap is very important for people of all ages. Also, some people argue that a nap have benefits to your body. There has been a debate about this and there are people agreeing on both sides.
4. RESTORE ALERTNESS INCREASE MOOD BOOST CREATIVITY MORE PRODUCTIVE
5. Naps can make you more alert US National Sleep Foundation recommend you to take a short nap at least 30 minutes maximum. Most people feel refreshed after a nap that lasts approximately 30 minutes. So, you donât end up feeling groggy and sluggish all over your body after napping. A little group called NASA discovered that just a 26-minute nap increases performance by 34% and alertness by 54%. Scientific evidence suggests that consuming caffeine just before taking a short nap does a better job of restoring your alertness than just a cup of coffee/tea or a regular afternoon nap. That way when you wake up, you're not only refresh, but ready to go. But you need to remind yourself that if you drink a caffeinated beverage to boost your naps, make sure you do not overdo it; one or two cup is enough.
6. Naps can put you in a better mood The National Sleep Foundation actually recommends napping for 20-30 minutes to reduce stress and improve your mood. They say to help you relax. People who take a nap tend to be happier after waking up than those people who donât take a nap. When you take a nap then the body will be fresh and fit so that the mood will be maintained. This makes you more energetic and enthusiastic in completing your tasks. According to Dr. Sara Mednick, the author of Take a Nap! Change Your Life, a nap can reduce stress and anxiety and make you a calmer person.
7. Naps can boost your creativity A better mood is not the only thing a nap can provide. Napping can also boost your creativity. No wonder famous people like Albert Einstein, Leonardo da Vinci, Napoleon, and Thomas Edison are taking a nap. In 2013, scientists from Georgetown Universityâs Center for Functional and Molecular Imaging in Washington has found that the right side of the brain is far more active during a nap than the left side, which stays quiet while weâre asleep. After a nap people usually do better work with less mistakes and their ideas are flowing like a river.
8. Naps can make you more productive Sleeping during the day can make you more productive. Remember that you need to pick the right time and set a limit time of your nap because the well-timed nap can make you more productive at work and at home. On 2002 Harvard University demonstrated a 30-minute nap boosted the performance of workers, returning their productivity. Some people on the other side of the argument might say that naps make a messy schedule of their night time sleep, and that naps canât make up for sleep debt, they are not fully wrong, but naps do leave you feeling refreshed, and studies have shown that people who nap may have a better health than those who do not.
9. Conclusion In conclusion, there are lots of benefits you will get if you take a nap. A nap can refresh not only your body but also your mind. Even though many people think that taking a nap isnât good, actually it is, because it makes you more alert, increases your mood, boosts your creativity, makes you more productive, and many more. But you need to set the limit time for your nap; do not take it too long unless you want to feel groggy after you wake up. So, what are you waiting for? Go, take a nap now.
