How to use "Napping" in context?
There's a lot of debate over whether or not napping is truly beneficial. But what is clear is that people need some shut-eye. A 2013 study showed that people who get at least seven hours of sleep each night are more than twice as likely to be happy and productive as those who get less than five hours of sleep. In addition to being better rested, nappers also tend to have fewer problems with cognitivefunctioning, mood, and stress. So if you're regularly struggling to get enough sleep, take a break for a few minutes every afternoon and catch some Zs.
