The Benefits of Napping
naps are awesome! They give you more energy, help you to focus and even improve your mood. You might be wondering why we don’t nap more often. Well, there’s no science behind it but I believe that most people think naps aren’t “cool”, or they’re too busy to take one. In this post we will cover everything from how long should you nap for? Where is a good place to take a nap? What time do most people nap? And much more!

When is a good time to nap?
The best time to nap is whenever you are feeling tired.
But if you want to maximize your naps, here are some common times that people choose:
- right before bed – this will help you sleep better at night and get more out of your sleeping hours
- in the morning – this gives you a jump start on how well you’ll feel throughout the day
- during lunch break – many people like this because it gives them more energy and helps them stay focused during work hours
How long should you nap?
How long you nap depends on your age. The younger you are, the more sleep you need and the longer your naps should be. But don’t worry if your work schedule doesn’t allow for daily naps—you can still benefit from a short power nap at lunchtime or before an evening meeting.
- Babies: 20 minutes
- Toddlers (4 years): 30 minutes
- Preschoolers (5–6 years): 45 minutes
- School-aged children (7–12 years): 60 minutes
Where is a good place to take a nap?
A good place to nap is somewhere that is comfortable, where you can easily sleep, and where you can easily wake up. A bad place to nap is somewhere with a lot of noise or movement. You should also try to make sure that you are not in an uncomfortable position when sleeping or waking up.
What about bed? Is it okay to sleep there? If so, how much of your day should be reserved for napping? It depends on how long you want the nap to last—a short nap may only require 15 minutes in bed while a longer one might need as much as an hour or more in bed! The important thing is making sure that whatever environment you choose allows for relaxation and allows for easy entry/exit so that other people don’t have any difficulties disturbing them from their slumbering states.”

We should all be napping more!
Just like the benefits of exercise are not immediately apparent, the short term and long term benefits of napping can be hard to see. It’s easy to get bogged down by the negatives: You’ll need to nap when you’re tired, which can be inconvenient. You might feel groggy when you wake up from your nap, or even disoriented if it’s midday and you were asleep for longer than an hour.
But what most people don’t realize is that naps are actually pretty awesome! In fact, many experts recommend them as a way to improve your overall health and reduce stress in your life. If a nap sounds good to you—and let’s face it: who doesn’t want more time sleeping?—here are some tips on how best do so
