One of the issues that the science community has brought up with napping is that daytime sleep could interfere with nighttime sleep which makes for what could be an unhealthy sleeping cycle.
In response to this, scientists have come up with napping as adaptive behavior.
It’s possible that your body puts itself into an unconventional sleep cycle or demands excessive sleep as a way of coping with your stressors. Hence, naps help our body tell us that we require certain levels of rest to heal better.
In general, the issue is that naps don’t give enough time in deep sleep as actually sleeping and this may disrupt the average person’s sleep cycle.
This means that napping isn’t really as restorative as enough time spent asleep at night. It’s important to take these findings with a grain of salt because sleep cycles are unique for each person. The way that individuals move through the different sleep cycles can dictate whether or not they are nappers.
Be it for senior citizens, kids, or young adults at the age of 21, health benefits of napping are present in maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
