Abstract in brief

  • The study investigated the relationship between afternoon napping and cognitive function in Chinese adults aged 65 and older, finding that moderate napping (around 30 minutes) was linked to better cognitive performance.
  • Participants who took moderate naps scored higher on assessments of memory, attention, and other cognitive abilities compared to non-nappers, short nappers, and extended nappers.
  • While the results suggest a positive association between moderate napping and cognition, the study's cross-sectional design and reliance on self-reported data limit conclusions about causality.]

Study showed that those who usually napped for 30-90 minutes had better overall cognition compared to those who napped for longer or shorter, or who didn’t nap at all. https://t.co/iOegBTUfcQ

قد يكون احدى اسباب تميز السعوديون في حفظ الاماكن ومواقعها هو قيلولة بعد الظهر، حيث توصلت دراسة الى ان القيلولة بعد الظهيرة تجعل الذاكرة العاملة افضل من ناحية الوعي بالمواقع، لذلك اوصيكم بالمداومة على اخذ قسط من الراحة والنوم بعد الظهيرة

A study in 2016 made with Chinese adult people (>65) noted that naps between 30-90 minutes after lunch (1-4pm) produced a better overall cognition. https://t.co/6Jfly89XcU

90分も寝ちゃうと30分の昼寝よりは認知機能が下がるものの、それでも昼寝をしないよりはいい 昼寝と夜の睡眠時間の関係 90分の昼寝をしているグループは夜の睡眠時間がもっとも長い まったく昼寝をしないグループは夜の睡眠時間がもっとも短い 理由は不明 https://t.co/jk1H5PtgYN #自分用メモ
