A member asked:
Can naps count towards your total night's sleep?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: Depends, but why are you taking daytime naps? It can indicate daytime sleepiness which is your body's way of telling you that you require better quality or quantity of consolidated sleep. 7.5 to 8 hours a night is recommended. If you are having trouble sleeping at night, a sleep medicine specialist can evaluate your issues. Try to avoid use of heavy machinery if sleepy. Hope that helps!
