But we knew that already
I wonder how many sleepless nights (and long days) went into proving what everybody here has known forever. The siesta is good for you, although it’s nice to have science confirm one reason people in northern countries act like bone-heads so often…
The study, from the department of psychology at UC Berkeley, suggests taking a brief siesta not only refreshes the mind, but can also make you smarter.
And those who work long days without a rest become more sluggish, the study said. Pulling an all-nighter, for example, decreased the brain’s ability to learn by nearly 40 percent in those observed.
“Sleep not only rights the wrong of prolonged wakefulness but … it moves you beyond where you were before you took a nap,” said Matthew Walker, the study’s lead investigator.
