Taking A Nap Is Healthy

According to Pew Research Center, taking a nap on a typical day is actually healthy. The great thing about this is that taking a 90 minute daytime nap has helped make people remember things better based on the study done last year and published by Nature Neuroscience.

Naps are actually more common in men than in women. Moreover it is common among the poor as compared to the rich. The survey which involved 1,488 adults showed that 38 percent of men and 31 percent of women had taken a nap in the past 24 hours.

Among people making more than $100,000, 33 percent nap regularly, while 42 percent of those making less than $30,000 clock out during the day. The income group that nap least are those that earn between $75,000 to $99,000.
