Taking Naps Could Boost Your Brainpower : Discovery News: "To every nap lover's delight, it turns out that sleeping may play a larger role in learning than previously thought, according to a new study featured in the journal Current Biology.
Researchers at the University of California-Berkeley studied 44 college-aged participants at two different times of day -- once at noon and again at 6 p.m. Half the group was allowed to take a nap from 2 p.m. to 3:40 p.m., while the rest stayed awake throughout the day.
At noon and 6 p.m., researchers measured how both groups performed in facial memory tests, finger tapping memory tests and an alertness test."
