Not all naps affect your heart the same way. 😴❤️
Short naps of about 20 to 30 minutes may help you recharge without disrupting nighttime sleep. Frequent naps lasting more than an hour, especially when paired with ongoing fatigue, may be associated with increased cardiovascular risk or an underlying condition such as sleep apnea.
MyCardiologist recommends paying attention to both the length of your naps and how you feel afterward. If you regularly need long naps or still wake up tired, consider speaking with a healthcare professional. 🩺
