Regularly having a small nap during the day is good for the brain and helps keep it bigger for longer, Ednews reports that a University College London study has found.
The research found that short naps during the day delayed the process of our brains shrinking as we get older.
However, it recommends that the naps are kept to less than half an hour.
The researchers hope their findings will reduce any stigma that exists around daytime napping.
