Naps Make You Smarter

by Ransom Riggs - February 22, 2010 - 7:40 AM IÂm a napper. 20, 30 minutes a day  thatÂs all I need. But it banishes the post-lunch sleepies and makes me feel like someoneÂs reset the clock inside my brain  and now, thanks to researchers at Berkeley, we know that thatÂs really kind of what happens, on a neuro-cognitive level. According to an article about the study, "An hourÂs nap in the afternoon can boost a personÂs brain power and improve their memory  showing that short periods of sleep during the day can make it easier to function mentally."
