Are multiple naps better than a full night of sleep?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Get full sleep: Naps do not substitute for deep stages of restful and rejuvenating sleep that are not achieved in naps? They restore wakefulness and focus in the short term, but you need rem sleep and deep sleep stages.
