Taking a nap sounds like a waste of time for you. But did you know that even if you take a nap for 20 minutes, you will become a healthier person?
According to psychologists, 80 % of people ignore taking a nap during the week. But this fact actually worsens their immunity and makes them feel exhausted during the next day.
Below you can find some things that happen when you take a nap every day.

Napping is not a mindless activity. In fact, research shows that the right side of the brain – where creativity and “whole picture thinking” takes place – is actively communicating with itself. (Napping has led to numerous creative insights throughout history. See: Henry Ford, Thomas Edison.)
Per a joint research study done by the Harvard School of Public Health and the University of Athens Medical School (Greece), people who nap for 30 minutes or more, at least three times per week, had a 37 percent lower risk of dying from heart disease.
Cornell University psychologist James Mass coined the term “power nap” –a practice that more businesses are embracing. Why? Because the data show that naps result in enhanced productivity and performance.
