Taking a regular afternoon nap（小睡）may bring better mental functions（心理机能）in old
people, a study has found. Researchers found sleeping in the afternoon has something to do with
better memory in the ageing Chinese population.
The study, published in online journal General Psychiatry, examined the sleep patterns of
2,214 healthy people aged 60 and over in several large cities in China, including Beijing and
Shanghai. Of those who took part in the study, 1,534 took a regular afternoon nap of between
five minutes and two hours, while 680 did not.
Participants（参与者）in the study were asked how often they napped during the week, with
answers from once a week to every day. The average length of nighttime sleep was around 6.5
hours in both groups, though no information was about how long they sleep.
All participants took part in a dementia（痴呆）screening test to check their mental
functions across a number of areas The researchers found important differences in memory, with
scores higher among the napping group.
“In addition to reducing sleepiness, mid-day naps offer a lot of benefits such as
strengthening memory, preparation for following learning, and emotional stability, but these
effects were not observed in all cases,” the researchers said.
However, the researchers did point out the research could not prove whether afternoon naps
put off the dementia of older people, or whether they might be a sign of dementia. The
researchers plan to continue their research to understand the details of these connections, and
hope to publish more work in this field in the future.
