Some people long to have a good nights rest. Unfortunately, life happens and often there is no time for naps or a full nights rest. Studies show that people need to find more time for sleeping, even though we spend around one-third of our lives asleep already.
A 2011 study from BPS Research Digest reported that people who take an afternoon nap are less sensitive to negative emotions and respond better to positive ones. The bottom line is sleep can give you a mood boost whereas sleep deprivation can cause you emotional distress.
