Negative Effects
Naps (even multiple per day) are not typically long or deep enough to provide the same restorative benefits as a continuous 6–8 hour period of sleep, and can result in the accumulation of a sleep deficit if naps are regularly used as a substitute. Naps are also not recommended for those suffering from insomnia or depression, as they may aggravate already disrupted rest/wake patterns.

Famous quotes containing the words negative and/or effects:
“In a country where misery and want were the foundation of the social structure, famine was periodic, death from starvation common, disease pervasive, thievery normal, and graft and corruption taken for granted, the elimination of these conditions in Communist China is so striking that negative aspects of the new rule fade in relative importance.”
—Barbara Tuchman (1912–1989)
“Each of us, even the lowliest and most insignificant among us, was uprooted from his innermost existence by the almost constant volcanic upheavals visited upon our European soil and, as one of countless human beings, I can’t claim any special place for myself except that, as an Austrian, a Jew, writer, humanist and pacifist, I have always been precisely in those places where the effects of the thrusts were most violent.”
—Stefan Zweig (18811942)
