Summary

To evaluate the nap duration that achieves maximal cognitive gain with practicality of implementation, the present work employs a within-subject design comparing nap durations of 10 minutes, 30 minutes, and 60 minutes with a no nap condition on benefits to alertness, vigilance, mood, speed of processing and memory over post-nap intervals of 5 minutes, 30 minutes, 60 minutes and 240 minutes. The effect of nap duration on memory encoding will also be examined.

Conditions

  • Sleep

Interventions

Nap duration

A cognitive battery which will be repeated at 1505, 1530, 1600 and 1900. Material for the picture encoding task will be learned at 1630 and will be tested at 2000.
