And what about long, deep-sleep naps? Those are the only kind I like.

Well…via ChatGPT bing…

It’s important to note that while short naps can be beneficial, many studies have found links between napping and poor health, especially in older adults. Therefore, it’s best to consult with a healthcare professional before making napping a regular habit 1.

Here are bings other key points:

  • A light midday snooze can boost memory and other types of cognition, as well as your mood.
  • Different types of naps have different effects. The sweet spot is about 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Short naps do indeed have cognitive benefits, such as improvements in certain kinds of memory, information-processing speed, and vigilance.
  • Longer naps let a person move into deeper sleep and increase “sleep inertia,” that groggy feeling on waking.
  • The urge to nap is governed by two physiological processes: homeostatic sleep pressure (HSP) and daily circadian rhythms.

P.s. long naps are the kind I like too…where you wake up and have to figure out what day it is.

I had to get up stoopid early for a flight this morning. It was a struggle to stay awake for the first 30 minutes, so I just gave up and let the sleep take me.

Just woke up after three hours. Only got about six hours of sleep last night because today is our Christmas and our kids are excited to wake up early. The post-Christmas nap is nice!

Had a brief nap on flight leg #1. Currently trying to transition my circadian rhythm about 14 hours so strategic napping is important to avoid as much jet leg as possible.

Currently hoping I’ve had enough alcohol to help knock me out for a couple hours. Not sure it’s going to happen.
