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:
“There is no reason why parents who work hard at a job to support a family, who nurture children during the hours at home, and who have searched for and selected the best [daycare] arrangement possible for their children need to feel anxious and guilty. It almost seems as if our culture wants parents to experience these negative feelings.”
—Gwen Morgan (20th century)
“If I had any doubts at all about the justice of my dislike for Shakespeare, that doubt vanished completely. What a crude, immoral, vulgar, and senseless work Hamlet is. The whole thing is based on pagan vengeance; the only aim is to gather together as many effects as possible; there is no rhyme or reason about it.”
—Leo Tolstoy (1828–1910)
