A recent study from the Feb 12th issue of the Archives of Internal Medicine confirms that Naps are good for you. In this study, midday napping (siestas) were studied in 23,681 Greek men and women without a known history of coronary artery disease. After controlling for confounding factors, taking a siesta is inversly associated with coronary mortality! Patients sytematically napping had a 37% lower incidence of coronary mortality and those occasionally napping had a 12% lower incidence! It’s enough to make the fool want to catch a little shut-eye right now! -Fool
