A member asked:
Why do i feel more refreshed after a nap during the day than after sleep during the night?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Number of factors: This can have a number of reasons. Most often though it is because of the sleep stages that occur. Waking up after particular cycles of sleep may make people feel that they have no slept at all. Also depends on typical sleep positions being different for naps and night sleep.
