Experts confirm that taking regular naps is good for your brain!

A regular nap often leaves people feeling refreshed and ready to take on the afternoon. However, a new study has found that taking naps during the day is actually good for your brain. New research analysed data from people aged 40 to 69 has shown daytime napping could slow the rate at which the brain shrinks as we age.

The average difference in brain volume between frequent nappers and those who were not - was equivalent to 2.6 to 6.5 years of ageing, researchers found. They added that they hoped their findings into the physical benefits of sleeping in the day will reduce any stigma that still exists around daytime napping.
