How long should your naps be?

How long should your naps be? wow, that was probably one of my more exciting questions to start this Blog with so we're going to talk about this today. And I promise I'm going to do my best to make this really interesting maybe but if you want to learn how these Works stay tuned because that's what we're talking about. But back to the blog.

Your eyes get heavy and g  radually close but wait, it's only lunchtime and you still have so much to do we're taking a nap help or would it derail your day our sleep both at night and an apse is made up of approximately 90 minutes of sleep cycles with four stages each a now can last anywhere from five minutes to three hours so it can include full sleep cycles or just a few stages as you fall asleep. You enter stage one the first two to five minutes of sleep stage to comes next for about 30 minutes in stage 2 body temperature.

Muscles relax and breathing and heart rate become more regular your neurons start to fire in unison creating waves of activity that sweep across the cortex. I'm Jaded by rapid bursts of neural activity called sleep spindles as you enter stage 3 or slow-wave sleep the rolling wage increases your neurons' fire in coordination. This phase lasts about 20 to 30 minutes and is where your deepest sleep occurs, then you enter REM sleep which lasts about 10 to 20 minutes in a nap in rem the brain becomes more active more like your brain activity while awake the end of ram Singh was the isshin of a sleep cycle. Okay, but will that make you feel better? Well, that depends on a few things especially What stages of sleep than F includes take a 30-minute nap which consists mainly of stage 2 sleep is associated with long-term potentiation a process that sought to strengthen the synapses between neurons which is essential for learning a 20 to 30-minute nap stops short of stage 3 is deep sleep making it relatively easy to wake up from a 30 to 60-minute nap.  Meanwhile has the benefits of stage 2 sleep and also takes you into the deeper sleep of stage 3 during stage 3 multiple brain areas worked. Other to transfer information from short-term memory storage to long-term storage stabilizing and strengthening long-term memory a coupling sleep spindles with slow waves stage 3 is the most difficult stage to wake up from so while 30 to 60-minute napkin economy to benefits those benefits often don't kick in until about 15 minutes after waking up 60 to 90-minute naps enter the REM stage while in Graham the prefrontal cortex, which is largely responsible for inhibition and cognitive control becomes much less active.

 Meanwhile, the amygdala and cingulate cortex regions associated with emotion and motivation are highly active researchers have that the combination of these things leads to bizarre dreams during REM sleep the decrease in inhibition and cognitive control might lead to Wild associations, and thanks to the amygdala and cingulate cortex activity. Those associations can be between emotionally charged products some researchers think this stage might help us make Innovative connections between ideas upon waking because the brain activity during REM is closer to making it may be easier to wake up from REM than stage three, even though the nap is longer the time of day also matters are need for deep stage 3 sleep progressively increases throughout the day.

 So if you nap later you met Rob yourself of At night this doesn't happen for REM sleep longer periods of REM occur during morning hours. So morning naps are dominated by REM. Midday naps have about equal parts of REM and deep sleep. and evening naps contain more deep sleep on top of all this it seems that we're just about evenly split between Nappers and non Nappers never is consistently show cognitive benefits from napping but not others may not researchers think it could be because Nappers are able to stay in lighter sleep and move through sleep stages more easily. Meanwhile, non-Nappers may experience more deep sleep while mapping thinking I'm groggy afterward. So will an app help. Well, there's only one way to find out if you're interested in learning more about how to hack your sleep to transform your life. We have another blog.

See I told you it was going to be interesting. Maybe hopefully that was interesting. Otherwise, I don't know why you're still here : ) but we have more articles that you could probably click on right here. That might be interesting or there's probably do you keep you just tired of seeing this article? You could click over to the right? It's probably other people's blogs but Enjoy your day. Thanks for learning about this will see you next time.
