Question: are evening naps good for you?
Answer: A: Naps are OK. But you'll probably want to nap for less than an hour, and you'll probably want to nap earlier in the day, like before 2 p.m. or 3 p.m. If you can power-nap for 15 or 20 minutes, so much the better. Napping for an hour or longer increases your risk of falling into the deep stages of sleep.
