Daytime Naps Once or Twice <br />a Week Can Be Good for <br />Your Heart, Study Finds A new study says just one or two naps per week can reduce the chances of <br />a heart attack. The five-year analysis can be <br />found in the medical journal, Heart. Nearly 3,500 subjects were tracked by a team from Switzerland's University Hospital of Lausanne. All of those involved in <br />the study ranged from <br />35 to 75 years old. To get results, researchers observed the relation between cardiovascular disease development <br />and napping regularity. They found that those who napped up to an hour <br />had a near 50 percent less chance of developing <br />health issues. Researchers add that a nap could be <br />as short as five minutes. They also say that the number of naps taken per week was irrelevant in terms of a connection to heart health.
