HOW LONG Should You NAP For The BEST BRAIN BENEFITS?

Taking a nap, we’ve seen time and again, is like rebooting your brain. But napping may be as much of an art as it is a science. Scientists offer recommendations for planning your perfect nap, including how long to nap and when
.

The sleep experts in the article say a 10-to-20-minute power nap gives you the best “bang for your buck,” but depending on what you want the nap to do for you, other durations might be ideal:
For a quick boost of alertness, experts say a 10-to-20-minute power nap is adequate for getting back to work in a pinch.
For cognitive memory processing, however, a 60-minute nap may do more good, Dr. Mednick said. Including slow-wave sleep helps with remembering facts, places and faces. The downside: some grogginess upon waking.

Finally, the 90-minute nap will likely involve a full cycle of sleep, which aids creativity and emotional and procedural memory, such as learning how to ride a bike. Waking up after REM sleep usually means a minimal amount of sleep inertia, Dr. Mednick said.
In addition to those recommendations, one surprising suggestion is to sit slightly upright during your nap, because it will help you avoid a deep sleep. And if you find yourself dreaming during your power naps, it may be a sign you’re sleep deprived. While you’re planning your nap, don’t forget to time it during the right time of day as well.

Wow so 90 minutes is best. President Kennedy used to take catnaps during the day.

I used to nap before picking my son up from school so that he had my full attention. It helped nix the 3:00 doldrums into which many people fall (huge energy dip). I need to start this again then maybe I wouldn't miss the end of so many of the programmes I watch on TV in the evening.

I try to keep it light an fluffy at that hour but still it's

Last year when I was in Germany....I was dozing off on the train. A man tapped me shook his finger at me, shut his eyes and tilted his head to the side, opened his eyes and said "Nein". He pointed to my purse and motion for me to wrap the strap around my arm. Later, we discovered we both spoke French so he told me that what I was doing was very unsafe. He also cautioned me to hang on to my bag very tightly when I got back to Frankfurt as the are where the main station is located has had a problem with purse snatching.

That was the first time I was scolded in German and sign language. No puss napping on the bus or train.

There is no truth to that rumour. The only time I felt like doing that, I pulled into a gas station off the highway and had a nap. That was a long time ago though after a very stressful few days with a group of people who were a vexation to the spirit.
