A new study has found adults who take daytime naps once or twice a week are less likely to experience heart problems or strokes.
The study, published Tuesday in the medical journal “Heart,” determined the length of the naps is unimportant. It also found the results were the same in people who napped once or twice a week and those who napped more frequently.
The study points out inadequate sleep and stress are major factors in heart disease and strokes.
Napping not only leaves people well-rested but also relieves stress, the study says.
