#1019: MM- The Benefits of Napping

The Staying Young Show 2.0 - Entertaining | Educational | Health & Wellness

Are you a daytime napper? I may have some good news for you. This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young Medical Minute. New research out of University of Bristol Medical School examined the effects of daytime napping on decision making. The participants in the study were given two tasks. The first task was given very briefly so the participants wouldn’t have time to process the information. The second task consisted of something simple. All the participants performed the tasks. Afterwards, half took a ninety-minute nap while the others stayed awake. They completed the tasks again and those that took a nap performed better. Although, napping can be helpful, excessive napping can cause more damage than good. Talk to your doctor if you experience excessive daytime sleepiness.
