When Your Napping Becomes a Problem

Should I nap?

The question should I nap, it really depends. If you have a problem falling asleep at night, the answer is no. There is data to suggest that the last time you were asleep is directly proportional to how long it takes you to fall asleep. So if the last time you were asleep was at two thirty this afternoon, you’re probably going to have a pretty tough time falling asleep if you have insomnia as opposed to if it was six thirty this morning. So, if you’re an insomniac or you’re someone who has a hard time falling asleep, I think napping is out. However, if you’re sleep deprived, and socially speaking, you can only get 6 and a half hours sleep, but you really need 7 and a half, then a nap during the day may be just the thing for you.
