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.
