The ideal nap length can vary depending on individual needs, but generally:
- Short Naps (10-20 minutes): These are effective for a quick boost in alertness and energy without causing sleep inertia, the grogginess that can occur after longer naps. - Longer Naps (60-90 minutes): These allow for one complete sleep cycle, which can improve cognitive functioning and memory. However, they can also lead to sleep inertia if not timed correctly.
