A recent study showed that frequent daytime napping is associated with an increased risk of developing dementia by up to 48 percent over ten years, especially if the naps are unplanned or short, less than 30 minutes, which increase the risk by 40 percent. The study focused on how habitual frequent napping, particularly among people over 65, might be linked to a decline in brain health, despite the fact that napping is a common practice used to compensate for sleep disturbances at night among older adults. It found that spontaneous or prolonged naps increase the likelihood of dementia, with a greater effect seen in those who nap more often. These naps are also associated with higher body mass index, depression symptoms, and daytime sleepiness. The researchers emphasized the importance of being cautious about the duration and frequency of napping as part of health measures aimed at protecting brain health.
