2 hours of naps in the daytime
I know what you’re thinking: taking a nap at some point during the day will help you “catch up” with your lost sleep, but in reality, it will do more harm than good. Victoria Wildhorn, a sleep health specialist at Mattress Clarity suggested you keep daytime naps as brief as possible.
“If your nap is long enough, you might fall into a deep sleep, and it will be harder to wake up from the nap, but also to fall asleep again that night.” So we can’t help but wonder: what’s the right amount of time to nap? The answer will definitely shock you: specialists believe that you shouldn’t nap for more than 15-20 minutes.
