I thought taking a nap was good, but it turns out to be surprising.
Adequate sleep and quality sleep patterns.
I should also exercise in moderation.

There are four main ways to sleep, and some sleep methods have been found to increase the risk of developing various diseases such as cancer, diabetes, and depression.
The research team from Pennsylvania State University in the United States, specializing in human development and family studies, conducted a 10-year longitudinal study on approximately 3,700 middle-aged adults in the United States. The data included ▲sleep regularity and duration ▲sleep satisfaction and daytime alertness ▲number and types of chronic diseases ▲sleep habits. The research team examined how participants' sleep habits changed over time and analyzed the relationship between sleep patterns and the risk of developing chronic diseases.
The research team identified four distinct sleep habits in total. Based on sleep habits, they are categorized as: ▲people who have optimal sleep habits and sleep soundly ▲people with irregular sleep patterns (characterized by short average sleep duration but longer sleep on weekends or holidays) ▲insomnia patients (characterized by short sleep duration, high daytime fatigue, and taking a long time to fall asleep) ▲people who take naps during the day.
More than half of the participants took naps or experienced insomnia, and most of the participants had not changed their sleep habits over the past 10 years. The research team said, "Sleep health is part of our overall lifestyle, so changing sleep habits is very difficult," and also noted, "On the other hand, it means that people still do not know the importance of sleep and healthy sleep."
Analysis results showed that people with insomnia or who take naps have a higher risk of developing various diseases compared to those without such habits. Insomnia patients had a 28% to 81% higher risk of diabetes, heart disease, and depression than those without insomnia. People who take naps had a 128% higher risk of diabetes and a 62% higher risk of rapid aging compared to those who do not nap.
Previous studies have shown that sleep deprivation increases the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and diabetes. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), lack of sleep reduces the body's and mind's recovery time from stress, thereby increasing the risk of various diseases. Conversely, sleeping too much is also not good for health. A study by Johns Hopkins University in the United States found that people who take naps have a higher risk of developing diabetes, heart disease, obesity, and depression compared to those who do not. The research team analyzed that napping increases fatigue and promotes inflammation within the body, thereby raising the risk of disease development.
Dr. Sumi Lee, who led the research, said, "Sleep is a lifestyle habit directly connected to health, so we should practice basic habits for better sleep health." He recommended ▲not using a cellphone in bed ▲exercising regularly ▲avoiding caffeine in the late afternoon.
Meanwhile, this research result was recently published in 'Psychosomatic Medicine'.
