Abstract in brief

The study suggests that napping once or twice a week may be linked to a lower risk of developing cardiovascular disease (CVD), while more frequent napping or nap duration does not seem to affect CVD risk.
Napping 1-2 times weekly was associated with about a 50% reduction in CVD risk, and this finding remained consistent even after accounting for factors like sleep disorders or sleepiness.
The research highlights that how often people nap might clarify conflicting results from previous studies on napping and heart health, but the duration of naps does not appear to influence CVD risk.]
