5 Things that Happen to Your Body When You Take a Nap

Nap


After a busy morning and without a resting beach, it is probably possible to find a moment for a little siesta. If you do it every day, you will be surprised to discover how beneficial it is to the body and mind. We are not talking about 3 or 4 hour naps that you would wake up groggy, but sleep beaches 30 to 90 minutes at least 3 times a week, if possible every day.


You will make sport easier.
The nap compensates for the energy you spent during the morning and early afternoon. So that when you go to the gym, at the end of the day, you will be at the top of your motor skills.

You reduce your cravings for nibbling.
You've obviously noticed: when you do not have your sleeping cash, you nibble constantly to still have enough energy. Rather than rushing on a pack of chips or a chocolate bar to keep your eyes open, it's best for your line and your health in general to make a nap.

You reduce your stress level.
When you lack sleep, your body produces more cortisol, which increases your stress levels. The best way to bring it down? A little nap that will make you see life again in pink.

It's good for your heart.
We already know that lack of sleep is a major factor in cardiovascular disease. A study carried out by Harvard University has shown that it is possible to reduce the risk of developing naps by using a nap to compensate for short nights.

This improves the functioning of your brain.

By operating your brain at full throttle from early in the morning to late at night, you risk risking it. A nap of 60 to 90 minutes allows to rest it to optimize the operation. A study shows that it can improve the performance of your brain up to 24 hours later. One does not speak for nothing of "restorative" sleep.
