Summary
This study looked at whether a 30-minute daytime nap can help mentally tired endurance athletes recover. Eleven male amateur athletes completed two sessions: one with a mental fatigue task before the nap, and one without. Researchers measured sleepiness, mental fatigue, and thinking speed after the nap. The goal was to see if napping helps restore mental sharpness after hard mental work.
