You know that napping is good for your health. But have you ever wondered how your brain works during this time?

15 minute nap

According to Boldsky, when you sleep for just 15 minutes at noon, your brain will increase energy to support learning and help consolidate memory.

30 minute nap

Your brain will improve memory and increase creativity if you take a 30-minute nap.

45 minute nap

A 45-minute nap is beneficial because it helps you remember more information. This has a positive effect on the brain, making it easier for you to solve many long-standing problems.

60 minute nap

Studies have shown that a 60-minute nap helps the brain effectively solve important problems during the day.

Nap for more than 1 hour

When you sleep for more than 1 hour, it is normal sleep. At this time, the brain will completely relax and put you into REM state (deep sleep). Dreams can appear during this time. However, prolonged sleep can make you tired and sluggish after waking up.

The effectiveness of a short nap

- Helps the brain to function better after waking up.

- Just 20 minutes of nap every day will recharge your brain. That helps improve memory, think clearly, and work more effectively.

- If you are stressed, take a nap of at least 15 minutes. You will feel refreshed, alert and less stressed after waking up.
