Finding time for a short nap during the day is good for our brains and helps us to be more "fresh" in our thoughts, according to researchers at University College London.

The team of researchers showed that regular napping leads to delayed brain aging by 3 to 6 years. On the other hand, scientists recommend that sleep during the day should be about half an hour. But they say that sleeping during the day is difficult, especially for the active working age, as many are unable to do such a thing.

Researcher Dr. Victoria Garfield said that the advice to sleep is easier than the weight loss or exercise that many people should do for better health.

The brain gets tired with age, but if napping can help prevent diseases like Alzheimer's, this finding of researchers is not enough as it needs other scientific research.

Researchers say poor sleep is damaging the brain over time.
