The Question – Is Napping a Good Thing or a Bad Thing?
“It all depends on why you're napping. If you're napping because you're feeling tired or sleepy at a time when you should be alert, the need to nap may indicate that you have a sleep disorder, that you're not getting enough rest, or are having poor quality of sleep.
Sometimes taking a brief power nap of 10 to 20 minutes can help energize you for the rest of the day. But if you're frequently requiring a nap because you're feeling sluggish in the middle of your day, consider consulting with your physician.
