Why Nappers Live Longer

If you want to live longer, take a nap. Somebody who napped like, three or more times a week, 37% less likely to die of heart disease. Harvard Medical School found that There was a 37% decrease in heart disease among habitual nappers. Now, when they focused on men, it more than doubled. There was a 68% decrease in heart disease among men who nap habitually. They did another study in Switzerland. It was a big study. 3,000 people. Right. And what they found was, again, direct correlations between people not dying and those who had naps. Even people who just had one nap a week had a 42% less likelihood of dying of heart disease, stroke, and heart attacks. So really, the jury is in.
