Your eyes get heavy and gradually close… But wait! It’s only lunch time and you still have so much to do. Would taking a nap help? Or would it derail your day? Well, that depends on a few things- especially what stages of sleep the nap includes. Sara C. Mednick details the cognitive benefits of napping, and explores the optimal length and time of day for a quick snooze.

"A nap can last from 5 minutes up to 3 hours"
My naps are beyond your understanding
This comment😂🤣🤣🤣🤣👏👏👌
Bruh my “naps” can last for 5-6 hrs😂
Same🤣
😆
Haha 🤣🤣 same here bruh
the worst part about taking naps is u expect to wake up afterwards feeling well-rested but instead u feel like u died and u forget who u are
That's bc you're waking up in the middle of a cycle
ISTG i thought i was the only one who felt that way. I literally forgot who i am and where i am and im almost panicking because i think ive missed classes or something. 😂😂
@@06.aishanawal10 sometimes I think I died
It happens mostly when you wake up at 90 minute mark because at that time you are at the end of REM sleep
When I take afternoon naps where when I wake up it’s almost dark I feel depressed for some reason.
I miss coming home from high school, opening my bedroom windows for a breeze, turning on my favourite comfort DvD, and then snoozing. I'd open my eyes, the sun would be gone, I'd be disoriented, but then I'd smell and hear my parents cooking supper. Those were some of my favourite naps.

- A sleep cycle lasts 90 mins, has 4 stages
- A nap can last b/w 5 mins to 3 hrs
- 5 to 30 min nap: easy to wake up from as it stops short of stage 3/deep sleep
- 30 to 60 min nap: memory transfer from short term to long term storage, deliver cognitive benefits of deep sleep but most difficult to wake up from
- 90 min nap: easier to wake up from than stage 3 as brain is quite active during REM sleep
- Conclusion: Take naps in 30/90 min increments: 30, or 90, or 3 hours (two 90 minute cycles)
- Morning naps dominated by REM, and evening naps by deep sleep
- Naps are not for everyone
thank you🤗

Thank you so much. I was in search of sth like this.
@@aelita957it’s just a four minute video tho qwq
5 to 30min sleep stage is essential for LEARNING
The best naps are when they just happen with no plan. You sit down it's oddly comfy then you're just out for a hour but it feels like you slept six, then you have a super productive day.
this is so true, at least for me too.
The best type of nap. But for me, I wake up in panic trying to remember myself while half of my body is still in coma😂
Indeed man, Indeed.
Absolutely... I think the best way to think about sleep (and most other things) is to listen to your body and understand what it's telling you.
Yeah Pre-Adulthood Naps were Gr8
The worst nap is when you wake up feeling refreshed but reality hits and you have 45 missing assignments, 8 modules, and 2 essays due today
hehe, still worth it? got to be more clear headed and got to stay awake till 2am without caffeine
@Francis Rodrigo Ceblano I see you are Francis Rodrigo Ceblano
Hahaha true
Modules, you from the Philippines?
*cries inside*
The thing about REM sleep being most prominent in the mornings makes a ton of sense, whenever I’m sleeping in on a weekend and I wake up but then go back to sleep, I get really weird dreams that I can wake up from at any time but I’m not necessarily controlling them, I just kinda know I’m dreaming

True, I can wake up panicking only to find out that it isn't the next day.
Literally the other day. I got off work, took a nap. Woke up at 5pm thinking it was am and nearly ran to work
Or the evening.
@@lucidexistance1 Yeah, maybe it was 5 P.M. the next day and you took a full day nap...
Sometimes waking up after that kind of nap feels like you've awoken from a 100-year slumber.
I don't need sleep i just take my healthy dose of cokain in the evening.

But that’s so disorienting! And it makes me feel so uncomfortable. I hate those naps
That happened to me yesterday I woke up thinking yesterday(Wednesday) was today lmfao😂 I was so confused as to why my phone was saying it was Wednesday

When I was in elementary school I would be tired during the day because of an abusive household, and high school I had a lot of sleep deprivation because of my depression, and I would just crash during the day at school sometimes. Working as a teacher now, I try my best to be as understanding as possible with my elementary students, because you can't learn if you are deprived of sleep. Even if it means missing one lesson, it makes them much more productive throughout the rest of the day. Sometimes I even talk with the student that is having the problem and decide that if they need a break to just let me know.
My father taught high school math for a few years. He had one student who frequently fell asleep in class. Turns out his father had died a few years prior and he had a night job stocking grocery store shelves just so his mom and his siblings had enough money to put food on the table. That student changed his perspective on sleep, and he never woke a sleeping student again. His telling of that story made me a more empathetic person when it comes to viewing sleep as a biological need and not a character flaw.
thank you for doing things like that. the little things matter _so_ much, which im sure you know from experience. as an aspiring teacher myself, comments like these are what keep me going. wish you the best!
Please become my teacher
This is really sweet! What a kind teacher.
I will remember this, I know if you’re still here today to share this story is for a reason. I’m working towards my career in foreign languages/cultures to be an interpreter for overseas businesses or maybe even at US embassies. I love traveling and after all the experience I wanna become a foreign language teacher. Hopefully one day I will reach said career
Nap length isn't determined by me. I leave that decision up to the nap gods when I play "Nap Roulette".
The nap gods are not kind to me when I play Nap Roulette. I usually lose all my cycle chips
My sleep gods that decide when to wake up are my alarm clock😂

@@idkyou8188 hahaha
It's crazy how we have that much faith in ourselves when it comes to naps
Soo relatable
i vividly remember the best nap i've ever had. it was after an exam, i had like 2 hours of sleep the night before and i was doing the questions while fighting to stay awake. after the exam ended, i slept for exactly 30 minutes. woke up feeling so energetic and focused, my mood was instantly lifted. it was better than any 8 hour sleep i've ever had
The best nap is when you get up in the morning and then a few hours later you feel sleepy even while it is still morning and you crawl back into your still warm bed. You feel aware of your surroundings but in such a cozy warm comforting drowsy way. You tend to drool 🤤 in a warm slow way and you feel peace. Then your mom comes in and wakes you up saying “I thought you went to your room to make your bed not SLEEP IN IT!” Lol 😂
To those who take an afternoon nap, I wish you a happy 3 am
thanks
Thank you :')
Thanks man! ✨

The cat cuddle at the end was so cute! This style of animation was perfect for the topic! 💖
The best nap that you’ll ever have is any time between 12:30pm - 4pm afternoon. Wish you all having a good nap.😴 😊
The best nap is the 7 minutes of sleep you get when you sleep in class but suddenly your name gets called so you have to wake up. I literally don’t feel tired after and literally get a burst of energy.
That's so true😅😂
That's true. Has happened to me numerous times in college...
That's true 😂😂
True. All the best naps happen in classrooms. When I nap at home I always want to die after waking up.
Haha second only to the sleep on a public bus but you can't fall asleep without missing your stop or ending up across town at the end of the line
I swear these audio-visuals coupled with the calm female voice talking about sleep are the most relaxing thing I've encountered in a while.

For me naps are entirely different. I go straight to stage 4 and I'm in a half wake half dream state. So I know that I'm napping but I'm also partially dreaming at the same time. I feel the progression of time normally and can decide when to "wake up" again.
pretty sure that's lucid dreaming or astral projection
That‘s what I do in the mornings sometimes when I‘ve been awake but want to stay in bed for a bit longer

Best nap I ever had;
I came back from the beach after a long day of swimming, I ate macaroni and fried chicken then took a shower and turned on the AC and dived into that hotel bed, had two good hours of sleep and I wasn't tired at all afterwards.
Ooh sounds comfy dude
That vitamin d really hit you on top of the exercise.
the best naps are in the summer on a hot day after doing something productive
we used to go swimming in the morning for a total of 3 hours, then eat hot samosas and take a nap in a ac room. Best routine of my life.

I love that my favorite author from my favorite series is being quoted. This made my day.
There's actually a Stage 0, where the body is both too tired to move and hyperaware of every noise within a 3 mile radius.

The best nap of my life experience:
It was my first year at the University. It was heavy winter outside with snow everywhere.
There I was studying in a study place on almost top floor of a university building. The place was super cozy. It looked like some renesanse erra library and it had big window walls on 1 side. Everything was in wood. That day it was around pm and it started tocget darker. Snow was falling outside. I was there since 11am studying sitted on a desk facing the curved glass wall and each time i looked up the view was mesmerising. It was like a fairy tale. And inside it was very warm. There were only a few more people that day there. At one point i just put my hands on the desk and then put my head down on my hands and iwas gonne... The 10minutes before i fall asleep were the most pleasure you fan imagine. After i wake up i felt like reborn. As if i slept 100 years
All this talking about neutrons is relaxing and so calm with Sara's voice even tho i don't get anything...
Rules of thumb I follow (that are basically the simplified points of this video):
- 5 to 30 minute nap (MAX) for a power nap to get the blood flowing
- 90 minute nap if I have enough time and/or really need a bigger boost
- 60 minute naps are a NO GO. They will only mess you up and that’s where the “dead” feeling comes from. Take naps in 30/90 min increments: 30, or 90, or 3 hours (two 90 minute cycles).
- DO NOT NAP AFTER 4 PM. Try to hold out till at least 7 before falling asleep for the night. Otherwise your sleep schedule will be messed up due to Circadian Rhythms, and as the video mentioned, less deep sleep/harder time falling asleep. Your body needs that ‘tired’ and a schedule to know when to release melatonin. It’s hard but you’ll thank yourself later because you’ll both get to crash as soon as your head hits the pillow, and it’s easier to have a schedule if you stick to it in the beginning.
Sleep health is so important and I strongly encourage anyone who lends a ear to make better sleep choices. Poor health is so normalized these days and it’s amazing to see what simple choices can lead to improved physical and mental health.
Interesting observations. My wife prefers 1 hour naps while my sweet spot is 1½. 2 hours and I cannot wake up but feel like a zombie for the next two hours.
We often nap together around 5 pm and have no problems falling asleep at night again.
thank you for sharing these tips! ive heard them mentioned before but explained like this. ill definitely be keeping these in mind.
i religiously take naps after 5pm, i think its time for a change
Thank youuuuuuu
I took a nap at 4 the other day and couldn't fall asleep until 2:30am ☹
the perfect nap: you dont know where you are, you don't know what day it is, you don't know why you are here.
Wake up.
You know it was a good nap if you wake up and ask “what plane of reality am I on?”
That don't look like a nap, look like a drunk guy
Literally me every afternoon nap. I always panic for seconds especially when I wake up without seeing anything cuz I rested until it's dark outside
And most important... It doesn't care, you are just relaxed
I had the perfect nap today that really hit the sweet spot. It wasn’t too short where you wake up cranky or too long where it will ruin my night sleep. I love taking naps, I have a nanna nap everyday.

my strategy is to set a timer for 15-20 minutes and turn on some music. always leads to the perfect shallow nap
Wow that is a good idea. I’ll try that on my next nap
I wish I could use this method. I can't possibly fall asleep that quickly unless I'm completely exhausted, and I have absolutely no idea how long it would take me to fall asleep otherwise.
I end up feeling frustrated after such a short nap, because it takes me so long to fall asleep in the first place
@@jade.clarisse_ How did it go?
No matter a nap or a long sleep, I always wake up feeling exhausted. My body feels like it's stuffed with cotton and my head is light, like my consciousness forgot how it feels to have a body and needs to get used to the world again
It can be related to high levels of cortisol. When I'm stressed I can sleep up to 10 hours still feeling tired, but when I'm not I'm feeling myself wonderful
I remember when i took a nap when i was a kid, i usually take naps in the afternoon but this time i woke up and the sky had a different color, it looked like a sunset but i wasn't sure. I kept on asking if it's the next day already and they kept telling me no, i couldn't check via smartphone yet cause it wasn't that popular back then. I eventually found out that it's still the same day, it's just that the sunset has come earlier around 5 pm.
The perfect nap is when you wake up at the desired time but more energetic and not 7 hours later forgetting what dimension you are living with
Yes, that's the perfect nap.
I am a master of those naps. I dont need to set the alarm anymore, I always wake up after 30-40 minutes

I feel this video so much. I took a nap last night at 5 p.m. cause I got really tired and I ended up sleeping for 2 hours and having multiple, vivid dreams. I was only going to sleep for an hour but I woke up and was too tired to fully get up. after my nap it was harder to fall asleep cause I had energy and inspiration again. I went to bed at 2 a.m. but I think it was worth it for me!
My favorite naps were during geography period which was always after lunch (around 11.30) and our teacher would always wind up like 5-10 minutes before and she'd allow us to do anything. I'd go to sleep straight away and when my friends would wake me up I'd be super energetic for the rest of the day
Best naps of my life were during Chemistry classes. My teacher would literally see me take 5 to 10 minutes naps during his classes but he said nothing for years. I'd always get medium to very good/great scores for his tests so it was like we had a secret deal lol You let me take a nap, I'll get my way to college, dw.
yooo thisss LOL i remember my 9 grade in person classes, i would sleep on break time and ace all things up
My tuition teacher would ask me to pull my ears downwards whenever I felt sleepy. When that wouldn’t work, she allowed me to nap for 5 minutes, and then use the washroom to freshen up.
I too had a classmate who take naps during classes of business studies. The teacher like in your classes didn't wake him up and he got an A+ in business studies when results announced.
One of my subject at uni was for 3 consecutive hours and in the morning 7-10 am I slept almost half of it and the teacher also didnt say anything, he sometimes even walked between the seats and still didnt care to wake us up
if someone takes nap in my class, my teacher lets them but they have to do their work after still

Take 30 mins nap for learning
Take 30-60 mins nap - for remembering, but will take time to recover from sleep
Take 60-90 mins nap - for full cycle, helps brain activity and helps connecting the dots

Sameeeeeee
This delicious narration and background music made wanna take a nap.
This was such a calming video
sleep: 6 hours
nap: 6 hours
"well guess im healthy"
The equal split between nappers and nonnappers is really interesting. I wonder if the split developed as a response to maintain awareness as a group throughout the day. The nappers would nap throughout the day and be able to take night shifts more easily and the nonnappers would take day shifts. It would be interesting to see if there are any correlations between nappers and adhd
I heard something similar about early risers versus night owls, that the night owls would be the ones to stand guard at, well, night lol.
...must be why my imagination is so active at night, thinking of all those potential dangers my ancestors faced 😂
Some ADHDers are nappers. There's something about using up so much energy to focus that wears some of us out
I usually don’t take naps but sometimes I feel so bad I just have to. And when I wake up I feel worse 🙃
But, the best “nap” I do take is in a bus on my way home, 20min of “closed eyes”, I don’t fall asleep but I do relax and distance myself from the world. I wake up, walk home from station and feel great.
I can’t nap…. Even when I had newborn babies. I think it’s called anxiety.
Interesting. Also love the alphonse and may prfp! :D
The best naps are when you wake up all the way to check the time and can go all the way back to sleep with no questions. The 2nd best is when you fall asleep for 3 and a half hours after eating more than you should have at lunch when you didnt do anything that morning and tell everyone at dinner what a crazy Tuesday it's been so far
Great timing for this to show up in my algorithm
Now Ted-Ed quoting Rick Riordan is not something I realised I needed. My past 12 year old Percy-Jackson-obsessed-self is content :D
Agrees in Greek Mythology.
Edit:Before I hear angry Roman noises and scorpions deploying , I salute you too.
I was kinda shocked myself! It’s awesome!
The worst part about napping is waking up with a headache. So I guess I'm a non-napper.
Drink enough water to where you don't wake up in the middle of your nap having to pee but also enough to where you don't wake up with a headache. Before bed I cut off water intake an hour to 30 min before I go to bed
Drink more water like what he said^ but not before you sleep. Just in general 50%+ of headaches are from dehydration
@@PeachiiWubs in the morning I pound a liter of water to start the day. And I regularly drink throughout the day. Not only does it help with headaches but it does a lot of good things
me too, but only if i took a nap in the afternoon
for me it's the other way 'round. If i got a headache i go for a quick nap and it's gone!
Oh, I’m definitely a non napper. I had my corpus pineale removed due to cancer more than six years ago and I went from napping whenever I could to not sleeping at all. I started taking melatonin, the sleep inducing hormone, and got sleep back, but no napping. Now, I need to plan sleeping very well.
Best nap I had was in September. We were on vacation in Colorado. We hiked in the morning and my mom had a huge race, it was sunny and I felt tired. Came home, ate a sandwitch then opened the bedroom window which was next to my bed. The cool breeze blew through as I quickly drifted off to a dreamy, cool sleep next to the window.
"so will taking a nap help? i guess we'll find out" well then that was a huge waste of time. couldve spent these 5 minutes trying to nap
Its just either you take 30mins or 90mins. Waking up in a Sleep Cycle is bad. And after 30mins (as she mentioned in the video), you wake up better. For my experience napping for 30mins (not any minute longer!) has helped throughout tiredness in the day. I can recommend.
@@peaceforworld2011 thanks, much love.
The last part where the cat sleeps on top of the girl is so cute.
SPOILER ALERT! 😠 😂
@@talithasuya8908 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
imagine looking at the comments before finishing the vid lol
It's Really... Co incidence what I feeling from last week 😢... What I want 😮 perfectly got by this video ... thankyou 💕...
This is so helpful 🤍🍓
Legend says everyone’s still searching for the answer for “how long” should naps last
Yeah, I sure am
It's the 5 hours naps u take at school just to wake up and realize only 4-8 minutes passed by. And suddenly you have infinite energy
8 hours continuous sleep minimum. Here's your answer.

You should take naps that last maximum 9 minutes. After 9 minutes your body starts to think you are ready to properly sleep and if you were to wake up approximately 15-20 minutes after you start your nap then you will feel tired straight afterwards, not energised. The perfect nap time is 9 minutes 👍
In my experience, the best time to take a 45 Min nap is just before Midday. while making sure you sleep at 10 PM and wake up at 5 AM.
Thanks. Why tho.
Wake up 5am, do chores, work, exercise, shower, breakfast. At 12pm, take a nap until 12:45, more work, errands, lunch with friends, leisure time, wind down for the night, dinner, bed by 9pm. Sounds like the best day anyone could have
@@hasanaboulhasan try sleep at 9:30pm or wake up at 5:30am, that way you've slept for 7hr30min or 5 full sleep-cycles. The length of a sleep cycle is different for each person so test it out.
Yes, I have had the same experience. After waking up at 4.30am or 5am, a 11.30am nap, really helps me with my work.
@@claudial3875 So essentially you don’t have a job..
The animations are just perfect! And the video made me oddly sleepy..
The animation is absolutely beautiful
Me: Sleep is for the weak. Take a 10 mins nap and you'll feel great.
My Nap: We will wake you up after 24 hours.
LMAO 😆😆😆
I'm amazed at people who can fall asleep and wake up after less than 6 hours
I don’t understand “10 minute naps”, like do you set an alarm for 10 minutes later as if you’re gonna fall asleep in 1 second or what
@@zerinaimsirovic5419 This is my problem with scheduling alarm times for naps and at night. 20min nap? Okay, I'll set it for 20min from now. But if it takes me 8min to fall asleep, it's no longer a 20min nap.
@@Ellie-jl3vk I know, right! How are you supposed to do it properly? 😂
*Dead Person* “I have the best naps.”
Oh course you do
Quetioning when the ppl at Ted are getting their sense of humor from. Cuz It really evolved from the regular educational vibes to meme vibes.
It cost you 0$ to tell me this.. And you still decided to..
Lol
Yeah we do. Opps
This video is so calming, I'm going to take a nap
i like how this video assumes i don’t have extreme sleep deprivation and an extremely difficult time falling and staying asleep !
I was in basic training for the Army a few years back, and I remember sitting on the floor listening to the Drill Sergeant's lecture. I was really tired, and struggling to stay awake fearing the repercussions of falling asleep . All of a sudden I felt great. I was able to focus, and listen intently using my newly gained burst of energy. Then BAM! I snapped awake. The sound of the drill sergeant yelling at me as my alarm clock. To my utter horror I realized that I was dreaming. Simply dreaming that I was listing to the drill sergeant's lecture with such wonderful attentiveness. Anyone who has ever been in the service can use their imagination on what happened next lol.
So, what happened?
@@pressftopayrespects6325 Lots of self loathing at the tire pits :(.
@@Bullets632 I see, interesting story.
Wow, you can be a book writer!
@@ternellrogerroger2687 Thank you. I'll let you know if I start writing lol.
