Daytime sleep: good or bad?

  • In most cases, a person living in a big city and getting a lot of physical and mental stress during the day does not have time to rest qualitatively at night. In this post we will look at whether an adult needs a day nap and why.
  • Even a short daytime nap is beneficial: it refreshes, relieves general sleepiness and restores strength.
  • In addition, the benefit of a nap lies in neutralizing the stress hormone (cortisol) and restoring sleep patterns. (The main thing to choose the right time to sleep) If you fall asleep at 13-15 hours, you will get a little help from the production of somatotropin – the growth hormone.
  • During the first 20 minutes of a daytime nap, the happiness hormone serotonin is produced. A one hour nap during the daytime can make up for this deficit and improve well-being, if you have not slept enough at night (the norm is 7-8 hours).
  • You may have noticed this effect – sleep a little during the day and then improve your mood and performance. After sleeping do a little exercise, because somatotropin is also responsible for the amount of muscle tissue
  • Daytime sleep is one of the best anti-stress tools, it is a kind of reset for the body, allowing with new strength and actively spend the rest of the working day.
