😴 Taking a nap may be an effective strategy to counteract impulsive behavior and boost tolerance for frustration, according to a 2015 University of Michigan study.⁠ ⁠ Those who napped spent more time trying to solve a task than the non-nappers, who were less willing to endure frustration to complete it. In addition, nappers reported feeling less impulsive.⁠ ⁠ Combined with previous research demonstrating the negative effects of sleep deprivation, results from the U-M study indicate that staying awake for an extended period of time hinders people from controlling negative emotional responses, said Jennifer Goldschmied, the study's lead author.⁠ ⁠ _____⁠ ⁠ #nap #napping #naptime #sleeping #sleep #science #biology
