Abstract in brief

  • A 30-minute nap leads to more slow wave sleep and greater sleep inertia, impairing performance for at least 47 minutes, whereas a 10-minute nap causes minimal sleep inertia and better maintains performance after a night shift simulation.
  • Performance on cognitive tasks worsened after the 30-minute nap but remained stable after the 10-minute nap, indicating that shorter naps may help reduce sleep inertia and support alertness in night shift work.
  • Self-rated performance improved across all nap conditions regardless of actual performance, highlighting that subjective feelings of alertness do not necessarily align with objective cognitive functioning after napping.
