Is it not healthy to take daily naps?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Are naps healthy?: While some studies may suggest that a short nap during the day is beneficial, sleep hygiene recommendations argue against naps as they disrupt our normal 24-hour sleep wake cycle. Better to get higher quality sleep of good duration at night.
