Mednick even designed a napping wheel that pinpoints the ideal time to snooze, when a nap would contain a good balanced of slow wave and REM sleep. REM sleep is ( Rapid eye movement sleep) one of the five stages sleep that most people experience nightly, it is characterized by the eyes and paralysis of the muscles. This balance typically occurs six to eight hours after waking. In a 2009 study, and her colleagues compared the effects of REM sleep, non REM sleep, and quiet rest ( while awake) on creative problem- solving. On the morning of the lest, students were given a task in which they had to come up with a word that is associated with three apparently unrelated words - for instance " falling", actor and 'dust' can all be associated with the...

We've all heard of the merits of power naps, but are there good and bad ways to sleep during the day? But evidence is growing that napping can produce cognitive benefits from increased alertness to improve motor skills, perception and memory consolidation. So How do you get the best from a brief bit of Shuteyes ? In a study published last year , researchers found that both nocturnal and daytime sleeping improved memory consolidation for unrelated word pairs - like 'Pepper' and 'Elbow' - Suggesting it can help if you're trying to learn tricky - to - remember concepts. Another study, conducted at the Beijing University of Technology , examined the effect of napping on athletes after training. It found that naps could improved brain function and visual systems , and promote physical and mental recovery - a result that is in line with earlier research demonstrating that napping can facilitate motor memory consolidation . In study published...
