the data has now become quite strong that when you get past about 65 years old and you look at napping behavior in large epidemiological studies and you say is there a positive benefit in aging for napping or is there no benefit at all and they looked at that because they thought well that perhaps based on the work in healthy adults that I've described that would be good for older adults not only did they find that it wasn't good they found that it was deleterious that napping in older adults was predictive of worse Health outcomes and it also seemed to predict a higher likelihood of early mortality
