As a nation, the United States appears to be becoming more and more sleep deprived. And it may be our busy lifestyle that keeps us from napping. While naps do not necessarily make up for inadequate or poor quality nighttime sleep, a short nap of 20-30 minutes can help to improve mood, alertness and performance.ere are some other negative effects: 1  Naps can leave people with sleep inertia, especially when they last more than 10-20 minutes. 2  Napping can also have a negative effect on other sleeping periods. 3  One study has indicated that napping is associated with increased risk of heart failure in people already at risk.
1 If you try to take it too early in the day, your body may not be ready for more sleep. 2  Naps can restore alertness, enhance performance, and reduce mistakes and accidents. 3  A study at NASA on sleepy military pilots and astronauts found that a 40-minute nap improved performance by 34% and alertness 100%. Post-nap impairment and disorientation is more severe, and can last longer, in people who are sleep deprived or nap for longer periods. 2  Napping can also have a negative effect on other sleeping periods. 3  A long nap or a nap taken too late in the day may adversely affect the length and quality of nighttime sleep.
