Does NAPPING have a positive effect on Your Heart Health?
According to a study published in 2019 in Heart Journal, it's only true if you NAP 😴 once or twice per week.
-Napping 1-2 times per week was associated with lower risk of CardioVascular events, as compared to participants who did not nap at all.
-Interestingly, no similar association was found in individuals who nap more often.
-Also there was no link between duration of napping and CardioVascular events.
-It was a large study with over 3k Swiss participants and over 5 years follow up.
-The authors concluded: 'Subjects who nap once or twice a per week have a lower risk of incident CVD events, while no association was found for more frequent napping or napping duration. Nap frequency may help explain the discrepant findings regarding the association between napping and CVD events.'
