I could have written this article in The Guardian. After all, I am the true expert on this topic. It’s true… naps make you smarter. That’s why I am a genius.
A nap of 60 minutes improves alertness for up to 10 hours. Research on pilots shows that a 26-minute "Nasa" nap in flight (while the plane is manned by a copilot) enhanced performance by 34% and overall alertness by 54%. One Harvard study published last year showed that a 45-minute nap improves learning and memory. Napping reduces stress and lowers the risk of heart attack and stroke, diabetes, and excessive weight gain.

Spixie if napping makes you alert for up to 10 hours, how is it that you sleep for about 19 hours a day?
Cats can sleep and, at that, I am an expert. I never said that I could add.
