Here is a great news for you. Grabbing an hour's sleep during the day could have cardiovascular benefits, according to a new study.
Our lifestyle changes a lot due to long work schedules, shift work, increased anxiety and greater uses of the Internet and television late at night-all characteristics of our modern society-have had an impact on nocturnal sleep.
Researches carried out to know the impacts of day nap and the results show that sleeping between 45 and 60 minutes during the day appears to facilitate blood pressure recovery after a mental stress task in the laboratory.
"Our findings suggest that daytime sleep may offer cardiovascular benefit by accelerating cardiovascular recovery following mental stressors. Further research is needed to explore the mechanism by which daytime sleep is linked with cardiovascular health and to evaluate daytime sleep as a recuperative and protective practice, especially for individuals with known cardiovascular disease risk and those with suboptimal sleep quality," concluded the researchers.
