On the Lighter Side - "A Nap Might Do You Good"

From Septemer 2008 Awake Magazine

"A study of over 23,000 Greek men and women concluded that taking at
least three daytime naps a week may reduce the risk of death from
heart attack by 37 percent.  "There is considerable evidence that both
acute and chronic stress are related to heart disease."  explains Dimitrios
Trichopoulos, a researcher and an epidemiologist at Harvard School
of Public Health, U.S.A. "Afternoon siesta," he says, "may act as a
stress-releasing process [and] reduce coronary mortality."
