Why does napping shorten your life?

Scientists at the University of Cambridge have found that napping has an adverse effect on life expectancy.

Experts conducted research and found that people over forty years old should not sleep during the day, since daytime sleep increases the risk of death at this age by 14%.

Scientists came to these conclusions during observations of a group of 16 thousand. Human. Experts have noticed that those who like to take a nap for an hour after lunch shorten their chances of living longer by 14%. And if the daytime sleep lasts for three hours, then the risk of premature death increases by 33%.

This applies to people aged 40 to 80 years. Scientists advise them to give preference to a full night's rest and to stay awake during daylight hours.
