A NAP MIGHT DO YOU GOOD!
A study of over 23,000 Greek men and women concluded that taking
at least three daytime naps a week may reduce the risk of death from heart attack by 37 percent. "There is considerable
evidence that both acute and chronic stress are related to heart disease," say Dimitrios Trichopoulos, a researcher and an
epidemiologist at the Harvard School of Public Health. "An afternoon siesta," he says, "may act as a stress-releasing
process and reduce coronary mortality."
