And then the next morning when we wake up our mind is better prepared to act on that information, Twery, an expert on the science of sleep and sleep disorders (失眠) said.

The hour-long nappers also did better on the tests than those who napped for shorter and longer periods. But researchers note that these findings are for those over 65, and for young, healthy adults, an hour-long nap may be too long. At present, were suggesting that we try to nap for about 30 minutes or less. 30 minutes is enough to remove (消除) the pressure and will help us feel more awake.
