It's no secret - naps are great. They can help you recharge and leave you refreshed.
A new research suggests it could be good for your brain too.
A study which analyzed data from people aged 40 to 69 has shown daytime napping could slow the rate at which the brain shrinks as we age.
The average difference in brain volume between habitual nappers and those who were not was equivalent to 2.6 to 6.5 years of ageing, researchers found.
They said they hope their findings into the health benefits of sleeping during the day will reduce any stigma that still exists around daytime napping.
