If you want to take the best nap of your life, you should know that there’s actually a science to it. 🔬 It’s important to time your naps so that they’re in rhythm with the various stages of sleep. ☝️ Here’s what experts say:
😴 20 minutes is perfect for getting rest without falling into deeper stages of sleep
😴 60 – 90 minutes is great for longer naps and getting some deep sleep, as you’ll cycle back to lighter sleep stages by the time you wake up
😴 45 minutes will have you waking up during deep sleep, which can leave you feeling groggy and even more tired than before!
If you can never seem to have a satisfying nap, follow these guidelines and let us know how it goes.🤗
