Quality sleep is very important for a person's well-being and health. It helps restore strength and fill with energy.
Napping during the day is not a sign of laziness, it's just that your body needs additional rest, which has a positive effect on well-being. The Nottingham Post has published expert opinions on the matter.
A study published by the Manchester Evening News showed that regular sleep helps keep the brain "young" by slowing the rate at which it declines with age, and this can reduce the risk of developing dementia, reports the Observer, informs UAINFO.org.
According to sleep expert Hannah Shore, taking a nap in the morning can be a great way to improve focus, reaction time to fatigue and memory function.
"Between noon and 3:00 p.m. is the best time to feel refreshed without affecting your ability to fall asleep at night," she said.
Scientists from University College London found that people who napped regularly had brains that were five cubic centimeters larger on average than those who didn't.
This means that sleep likely has significant health benefits, including lowering blood pressure and reducing the risk of stroke, as well as neurological disorders such as dementia.
Hannah Shor advises to make daytime sleep a habit.
"Lie on a blanket and make sure the lights are dimmed in your bedroom and try to fall asleep," she explained.
Not only quality sleep will help reduce the risk of developing dementia and other diseases, but also a healthy diet, a healthy weight, physical exercise, quitting smoking and drinking alcohol in recommended doses.
