Benefits of Napping

Recent studies have shown that taking 20 minutes a day to refresh is instrumental to a person's overall well-being and leads to increased energy and productivity.  Below are some of the results of studies conducted on the benefits of napping:

  • Even an ultra-short period of sleep is sufficient to enhance memory processing: Memory retention with a short nap was measured 18% higher than that without the nap, while a longer nap enhanced memory retention by 34% relative to that without the nap. 1

  • College students taking regular naps demonstrated higher cognitive scores and lower stress levels when compared to the control group. 2

  • A study showed significantly higher scores for nappers in surprise tests, in comparison to those who did not nap.3

  • Poor sleep is a strong predictor of academic problems and has the same negative impact on a student's grade point average as binge drinking and marijuana use.4

  • Insufficient sleep and irregular sleep–wake patterns are present at alarming levels in the college student population. 5

  • ‘Napping and sleeping’ have been reported as the most effective ways to cope with stress, as perceived by students. 6

  • A short, mid-day nap is associated with improved alertness and cognitive functioning, leading to a 30% reduction in attention failures, an 8% reduction in hit reaction time, a 50% reduction in omission errors, and a 22% reduction in commission errors. 7

  • Daytime napping stops or even reverses the process of deterioration in visual perception, thus helping individuals cope with information overload. 8

  • A study in which subjects were learning words and word pairs suggests that a short nap can aid the process of moving learned information into long-term memory.9
