Regular Napping Linked to Greater Brain Volume

Daily napping may help preserve brain health, new research suggests.

Investigators at University College London, United Kingdom, and the University of the Republic of Uruguay, Montevideo, found individuals genetically predisposed to regular napping had larger total brain volume, a surrogate of better cognitive health.

“Our results suggest that napping may improve brain health,” first author Valentina Paz, MSc, a PhD candidate at the University of the Republic of Uruguay in Montevideo told Medscape Medical News. “Specifically, our work revealed a 15.8 cubic cm increase in total brain volume with more frequent daytime napping,” she said.

The findings were published online June 19 in Sleep Health.
