The 'lazy' work habit your boss will hate

(Hi Gemenfan: Send the link for this to your boss.)

Taking an hour-long nap in the afternoon improves memory and thinking, experts believe.

People who miss out on a siesta after lunch have the mental ability expected of someone five years older, their new findings show.

Researchers have examined the sleeping patterns of nearly 3,000 Chinese adults aged 65 and older to learn whether taking an afternoon nap had any effect on mental health.

Nearly 60 percent of the people in the study, published in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, said they napped after lunch for between 30 and 90 minutes.

The average nap time was about 63 minutes.

The participants took several tests to assess their mental status, answering simple questions about the date, time of year and basic maths problems.

They were also asked to memorize words and pictures from geometric patterns.

Those who took an hour-long nap performed better on the mental tests compared to those who did not nap.

Furthermore, those who napped for an hour did better than those who took shorter or longer naps.

People who took no naps, short naps, or longer naps experienced a decrease in their mental ability that was four to six times greater than those who took hour-long naps.

Taking a nap in the afternoon could also ensure you get a good night’s sleep as well.

Participants who reported less napping during the afternoon tended to have less nighttime sleep, the study found.
