Can i take a nap after 1hr of work out?though sleep only for 4hrs in the night.thanks

Yes: napping after a workout is fine. You should probably consider sleeping more at night. Four hours is not nearly enough. Most people need 6-8 hours in order for their bodies to function optimally. Hope this helps!
