Read more about it. Don't just take this one point of view, try to find more research on it.

Naps have been shown to benefit almost every aspect of human wellness. The benefits to the body include better heart functioning, hormonal maintenance, and cell repair. They help you live longer, stay more active, and look younger.  No organ is as affected by naps (or the lack thereof) as the brain.  The benefits result in greater alertness, improved memory retention and creative insight. Napping can make you a faster typist, better dancer or anything else requiring complex and coordinated motor skills.  Also, a nap's
effects on mental health include improved mood, lowered stress, and greater psychological balance.

Yes, you can.  Benefits of naps can accrue in as little as five minutes.  A 20-minute nap can increase alertness, improve physical dexterity, boost stamina, and lower stress.  I call this the All-Purpose Nap, because its benefits don't vary much across the day.  </blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/D01C19A2-8C25-4B97-97C1-0ABA5A437163/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
