Our body functions under the influence of circadian rhythms. Usually, in the afternoon, a person's blood sugar level and body temperature decrease.

Drowsiness may appear from this. To overcome this condition, some sleep during the day. Experts told how useful it is to sleep during the day, and how to do it correctly.

According to News Medical, daytime sleep is useful if it does not exceed 15-20 minutes. “Larks” are advised to allocate 15 minutes for sleep between 1:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m., and “owls” – from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.

It is noted that a short daytime nap improves general well-being , memory and concentration. However, if you sleep for more than 30 minutes, it will be difficult to “get out” of such a dream. Also, after a long daytime sleep, it is very difficult to return to active activities. In addition, it has a bad effect on the effectiveness of night rest.

Those who sleep during the day are recommended to turn a short daytime nap into a daily habit. But before that, it is better to listen to your body and understand whether it needs this kind of rest.
