Rising longevity when long NAP

To many, the NAP is normal and harmless activity but more recently, a study in Britain showed that this activity we reduce life expectancy.

The long NAP that damage

Per adult in the uk NAP of about an hour or two each day. Researchers at the University of Cambridge (uk) has found that napping increases the risk of early death by up to 1/3.

The potential risk after every NAP is lung diseases such as bronchitis, emphysema and pneumonia. Thus, early mortality due to lung disease in adults, often NAP double 2.5 times compared with those who did not NAP.

Experts at the University of Cambridge has tracked more than 16000 volunteers in the uk include both men and women in more than 13 years. The study began in the late 90 's of the last century. The specialist focuses on the diet and lifestyle of the volunteers, from there to find out the relationship between them with cancer.

Accordingly, the volunteers provided full details about the daily activities-including the habit of napping. After 13 years, experts have noted more than 3000 deaths and have find out the cause of the deaths. According to which the number of deaths and NAP proportional to each other. Those who NAP under a fatality rate of about 14%, whereas this figure increased to 36% of those who NAP more than two hours.

The cause of the majority of the deaths were related to the respiratory disease in people who regularly sleep more than two hours at noon. This research also revealed that a NAP can cause disorders body along several pathological signs that the future can be made.

Professor Jim Horne from the sleep research centre at Loughborough University, said a short NAP can help the body to regain energy. Mr. Jim said: "85% of those with less than an hour's NAP are affected very little. However, if sleep was long over, the one, the signs of lung disease will start to appear, increasing infant mortality rate ".

Last year, China has also conducted a similar study. NAP is a fairly common activity of the entire people of the country. The figures from the study shows that NAP lasted more than 30 minutes increases the risk of developing diabetes type two. Besides the harmful effects of the NAP too long, the study also pointed out the benefit of a short NAP is to help reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke.

So how long NAP?

A NAP lasted about 20 minutes will help you more awake, increased ability to focus. A prolonged sleep 30 minutes will take you into a deep sleep, stimulates creativity.

But if sleep too deeply, from 45 minutes or more will make you feel tired, the mind is not awake after the wake. So a NAP ideally should only last for about 20 minutes.

The benefits of NAP

NAP lasted for about 15-20 minutes to deliver the benefits as:

-Reduce fatigue, stress reduction

-Improve memory

-Enhance creativity and concentration

-Good enough for people with hypertension also makes for more stable blood pressure. Avoid these complications can happen with sick people.

Review on the biological aspect, if we are working constantly 8 hours per day and have no time to rest, the body will accumulate fatigue. This not only makes the declining vigor, besides that, it also makes the body produce more chemical scum and toxins that paralyze the nervous system.

According to research by a group of Chinese scientists shows that the human brain activity usually tapered to 4 h and increase again at about 17 h-21 h. As such, NAP helps people adapt to tempo.=
