If life has you feeling tuckered out, consider this permission to schedule a nanna nap today… A team of researchers at University College London say that regular daytime naps of less than 30 minutes have been found to delay brain ageing/improve brain health. That’s because naps reduce brain shrinkage that naturally happens as we age. Scientists studied 35,000 people aged 40-69yo and compared the nappers to non-nappers, finding those who partook in a regular snooze had brains that were 15 cubic centimetres larger, which equates to a 3-6 year delay in brain ageing. With a lack of sleep linked to poor brain health and diseases like dementia, researcher Valentina Paz says, “regular napping could protect against neurodegeneration by compensating for deficient sleep”.
