Chapters

You want to nap for sleep deprivation. It's good to nap but not too long. You want to save that sleep hunger for the night when you're going through your REM cycles. So save that hunger. So maybe 30 minutes. You want to nap before you're getting tired also because once you get too tired then it's too late. So they've done some studies where they took a look at pilots and pilots on these long flights, like 18 hour flights. They studied whether it's good to nap at the beginning of the flight or nap at the end of the flight. At the end of the flight. What happens at the end of the flight is when you're landing that's the most dangerous part of a flight. So they had to get some rest in and it showed the statistics were very clear that it was better to nap before you got tired in the beginning of the flight than in the end of the flight because the accumulative effects of sleep deprivation make it worse for you.
