How A Power Nap Can Increase Your Productivity

Improves Memory And Creativity

A power nap is known to sufficiently promote declarative memory performance. It is known that sleep improves memory over time. However, it has been proven that one can retain those memory-boosting benefits even with a very short sleep. Since the brain is never resting, even during these power naps, the brain’s hippocampus is consolidating all memories. The hippocampus plays a major role in the consolidation of information from short-term memory to long-term memory. It is known that memory content, specifically information that was previously flagged as being of high importance, is itemized and given priority during memory consolidation while one is in asleep during a power nap.
