Can Napping Make You Sluggish

Bob: Hi, my name is Bob. I am from Stockton, California, and I am 50 years old. And my question is while I am at work, sometime I get tired, and I was wondering if napping during the day time will make refresh me or leave me more sluggish. Eric Dyken: Well the first thing Bob, try not to be tired during the daytime. Try to get eight hours of sleep at night. But if you are dangerously sleepy and it's impairing your function especially with driving, a good power nap would be helpful. We found that if you sleep for about 15 to 20 minutes, you allow yourself some refreshment and you don't get into those deeper stages of sleep, deep delta non-REM sleep, that's very hard to wake up from. We call that sleep inertia. So if you are feeling tired and you must nap, 15 to 20 minutes sounds good. Avoid the sleep inertia with longer naps.
