Avoiding naps close to bedtime from "summary" of Sleep Soundly Every Night, Feel Fantastic Every Day by Robert Steven Rosenberg
Napping can be a double-edged sword when it comes to getting a good night's sleep. While a short nap can be rejuvenating and help you power through the day, it can also disrupt your sleep if taken too close to bedtime. When you take a nap too late in the day, it can make it harder for you to fall asleep at night. This is because napping can reduce the pressure to sleep that builds up throughout the day. If you take a nap close to bedtime, you may find yourself lying in bed wide awake, staring at the ceiling, wondering why you can't fall asleep.
The timing of your nap is crucial when it comes to preserving your nighttime sleep. Aim to take your nap earlier in the afternoon, ideally before 3 p.
m. This allows enough time for the effects of the nap to wear off before bedtime.
If you find yourself feeling drowsy in the evening, try engaging in a stimulating activity to keep yourself awake until bedtime. This could be anything from going for a brisk walk to doing some light exercise or engaging in a hobby you enjoy.
By avoiding naps close to bedtime, you can improve the quality of your nighttime sleep. This will help you feel more refreshed and alert during the day, setting you up for a cycle of good sleep that leaves you feeling fantastic every day.
