Adults are always on-the-go in today’s busy world, meaning that they rarely get the recommended 7-9 hours of sleep per night. To remedy this conundrum, a “Nap-Ercise” class has been implemented in a UK Gym to help individuals 21 and older catch up on essential Zzz’s.
This Gym оffers napping classes for exhausted adults, members pay per hour. The concept is based off a study which was conducted by the Allegheny College in Pennsylvania. Study participants that took a 45-minute nap in the middle of the day handled stress better than those who didn’t receive shut-eye. Another study from UC Berkeley also found that an afternoon nap can help boost the brain’s learning capacity.
The class is intended to “reinvigorate the mind, improve moods, and even burn the odd calorie,” though one shouldn’t expect sleep to equate to a thirty to forty-minute medium-intensity workout. Regardless, it’s an appealing offer for those who feel as if they can’t catch up on restorative slumber.
