Time For A Nap?

Substituting a little lost sleep with a nap during the day can also be as good as getting a full night’s worth. Research has shown that splitting sleep into segments not only is fine but also still gives you the mental and physical benefits you would get from a solid eight hours. “If you’ve lost sleep for just one or two nights, a 20-minute nap during those days will do,” says Sara Mednick, PhD, author of Take a Nap! Change Your Life. “If you’re chronically sleep-deprived, nap for 90 minutes each day.”
