An afternoon nap could improve your cognitive abilities, study says
Taking an afternoon snooze could keep your brain sharp, a new study has said.
Adults ages 60 and older who took afternoon naps showed signs of better mental agility compared to those who didn’t nap, according to a study published in General Psychiatry earlier this week.
Researchers analyzed napping habits in 2,214 older Chinese people and measured their cognitive abilities using several cognitive tests.
The participants were divided into two categories, those who took regular naps and those who didn’t. The study defined naps as a period of sleep taken after lunch lasting between five minutes and two hours.
