Was the best way to fight fatigue in the middle of the day?

(Story system checked)

We are really sorry to inform you that sleeping at noon for more than an hour may increase your risk of premature death and heart disease.

"Daytime naps are common all over the world and are generally considered a healthy habit," Dr. Zha Phan of Chinese Guangzhou University wrote in a press release.

Our study challenges these common opinions. "



The study was presented last Wednesday at the European Conference of Cardiology's digital conference, and it analyzed the data of more than 313,000 participants from more than 20 studies, to examine the link between a nap and its possible health consequences. - After previous studies on the subject yielded conflicting results. Of the study participants, 39 percent took a nap at noon. The study found that long naps lasting more than 60 minutes caused a 30 percent higher risk of "death from any possible cause" and a 34 percent greater risk. Cardiovascular disease compared with subjects who stayed up at noon.When the



study also looked at night sleep, the high mortality risk was found only among people who slept more than six hours each night.In addition, the study found that women were at higher risk and 22 percent more dead than men who slept over An hour during the day.

The study also found that nap at noon, regardless of length, was "associated with a 19 percent increased risk of death at a relatively early age."

Dr. Pan said that "the results suggest that shorter naps (especially less than 30 to 45 minutes) may however improve heart health in people who do not get enough sleep at night."

Even more dangerous for women

The Fox network reported that according to the recommendations of the American Sleep Association (ASA), a "power nap" of 15 to 30 minutes can provide energy reinforcement during the day, but "they should not be replaced every night."

The ASA explains that the benefits of such a nap include an improvement in creativity, mood and "procedural memory" (also called procedural memory and it retains in the brain the knowledge associated with performing skills acquired throughout a person's life).

American sleep experts say older people should take a nap at a regular time each day, for no more than 30 minutes.



Professor Jeremy Pearson, who works at the British Institute of Heart Health and was not involved in the study, told the British SUN that much more research work needs to be done to see if sleep during the day has a bad or good effect: "Is it a good thing for our heart to sleep during the day This is a question that has been under discussion for a long time. Although research shows that sleeping for more than 60 minutes increases the chance of developing heart disease, one should look at why it happens. Instead of focusing on one factor, one should look at the lifestyle that can affect blood pressure. "And a half of exercise a week and maintaining a healthy diet can lower the risk of heart disease or stroke. Medications to lower blood pressure and keep cholesterol down can also lower the risk of heart disease."



Dr. Pan, however, says that according to his research it is not entirely clear how the nap affects the body, but stressed that previous studies suggest that long naps can cause inflammation, which can impair longevity and heart health. The study also noted that previous studies have linked A nap at noon for "high blood pressure, diabetes and poor general physical health." In conclusion, Dr. Pan told those who do not take a nap during the day that "there is no convincing evidence to start. If you are still interested in a siesta, according to the study you should sleep less than an hour. ".
