So what about naps? It seems that naps are great, but only if you
slept less than six hours the night before. The results showed that
taking naps during the daytime also increased the risk in people who
already slept more than six hours that night.
You might be
wondering "Could any other factors be causing this?" but like most
studies, the researchers controlled for factors like age, BMI, lifestyle
factors like smoking and physical activity, and other illnesses like
depression and diabetes. It seems this risk of cardiovascular disease is
directly related to hours of sleep.
