Exhausted after a day’s work? Think taking a cat nap of 30 minutes would help go through the day better? It may not be that bad an idea according to a Scottish-based study, as long as it is a quick one, that is 30 minutes or under.

While we are already aware how quick naps increases our productivity, alertness and psycho-motor abilities. Researchers have linked short naps to increased levels of happiness, naming the state that follows as ‘nappiness’.

The study was conducted for the Edinburgh International Science Festival, in which responses of the ‘nappers’ were measured on a happiness index.
