Can taking a nap save your life?
From the Fifty-Something Women blog:
A new book by Harvard University sleep expert Dr Sara Mednick, Take a Nap! Change Your Life, describes the simple process of taking a nap as a “lifesaving habit”.
Dr Mednick, a psychologist and research scientist, has accumulated a lot of evidence that a simple siesta in the afternoon is the best medicine for a happier, healthier life. People who sleep for 30 minutes at least three times a week had a 37 percent lower chance of a heart attack, according to a lead researcher from the Harvard School of Public Health.
I know my reaction to this is "who has time for a nap?" But of course this is the same thing people say about eating breakfast, cooking healthy food, exercising, reading, spending enough time with family and all of the other things that make our lives better.
