The research indicates that napping for more than 30 minutes can be detrimental to health.
“In contrast, when the nap is short, we see it associated with a decrease in the probability of having high blood pressure, so in a way, the nap becomes protective.”
In 2022, the researcher led another study in the UK Biobank with 450,000 people. This work was carried out in a population with a median age of 60 years old "and where napping is not a habit of that culture,"toldThe scientist therefore wanted to study a sample of younger people with fewer diseases, but also in a country where there is a solid siesta culture and hot temperatures."Summer temperatures activate the PER3 gene, which is the clock, nap-initiating gene,” said Garaulet.
Some people don't have siesta genetics, she further noted, “however, if you do, then this siesta gene might get activated in warmer areas, and you’ll feel like sleeping during the day". The new Spanish study complemented the results from the English bank and led to some pretty interesting conclusions.
"There is a positive association between short naps and improved blood pressure, especially if you sleep in an armchair or on the sofa, not lying in bed," Garaulet
