How long should a nap be for adults

Napping can be a powerful tool to boost mood, increase alertness, enhance memory and learning, and reduce stress.

Different nap lengths have varying benefits and drawbacks.

Shorter naps are less likely to cause sleep inertia, while longer naps can lead to grogginess due to the higher likelihood of deep sleep.

The best nap length for you will depend on your own sleep needs, goals, and how much time you have.

You might have to experiment with different nap length durations to maximize your benefits and minimize your post-nap grogginess.

In this guide, we’ll show you how to find your ideal nap length and explain why nap timing is just, if not more, important than the duration of your snooze.

We’ll also share how the RISE sleep and energy tracker app can help you determine how long to nap for, the best time to nap, and how to get the most out of your nap by preparing the perfect sleep environment and perfecting your sleep hygiene.
