On the flip side, research has shown that one's cardiovascular health can benefit from taking an occasional nap. An observational study done by researchers from the University Hospital of Lausanne in Switzerland found that occasional napping can lower the risk of heart failure, heart attacks, and strokes. Naps can refresh, rejuvenate, and boost our moods and overall well-being. Research has been done that shows emotional, cognitive, and immune benefits to napping, though it is an area that needs a lot more investigation.
