According to the European Society of Cardiology, the duration of the nap is related to hypertension, diabetes and poor physical health in general.
Napping can be used to recharge energy but, according to a study, they should last less than an hour, since if this time limit passes, there is a 34% more chance of suffering from cardiovascular diseases, compared to those who do not have the habit .
The research was presented at the annual meeting of the European Society of Cardiology and states that short naps, specifically those that last between 30 to 45 minutes, “could improve heart health in people who do not get enough sleep at night.”
Zhe Pan, one of the authors, noted that the study “challenges widely held views” that napping improves performance and counteracts the negative consequences of nighttime “sleep debt.”
The reasons why a long nap negatively affects the body “are still uncertain,” according to Pan.
Several studies suggest that when they are long they are related to higher levels of inflammation, which generates a risk for heart health and longevity.
According to the European Society of Cardiology, other research links naps with hypertension, diabetes and poor physical health in general.
The analysis found that naps longer than 60 minutes “were associated with a 30% higher risk of death from all causes and a 34% higher probability of cardiovascular disease compared with no nap,” the statement said.
Pan pointed out that if you want to take a nap, the study “indicates that the safest thing is to keep it below an hour”, while for those “who do not have the habit of a daytime sleep, there is no convincing evidence to start” do what.
