Scientists scan brains to solve afternoon nap fog

NCT ID NCT03058159

Summary

This study aimed to understand why people feel groggy after waking from a nap, a state called 'sleep inertia.' Researchers used brain scans (fMRI) on 55 healthy adults before and after a 40-minute afternoon nap. They measured how different brain regions communicate to see if this connectivity changes after sleep and if it relates to how often people remember their dreams.
