Sleep: How to nap like a pro

- by Tiffanie Wen - BBC.com - 7 January 2015

Excerpt:

. . . In a study published last year, researchers found that both nocturnal and daytime sleeping improved memory consolidation for unrelated word pairs – like ‘pepper’ and ‘elbow’ – suggesting it can help if you’re trying to learn tricky-to-remember concepts.

Another study, conducted at the Beijing University of Technology, examined the effect of napping on athletes after training.

It found that naps could improve brain function and visual systems, and promote physical and mental recovery – a result that is in line with earlier research demonstrating that napping can facilitate motor memory consolidation. . . .

. . . “So if you’re looking for a restorative nap, you should sleep later in the day when you have an increased amount of slow wave sleep,” says Mednick,

“And if you’re looking for a nap that might aid your creativity, you should sleep earlier in the day when you experience more REM.” . . . .
