Effects of a 30-min rest with a nap chair on task performance, sleepiness, and neurophysiological measures in men with suspected brain fatigue: a randomized controlled crossover trial
A 30-min rest with the nap chair did not appreciably improve the performance in the Uchida-Kraepelin test as compared with the office-chair rest. The nap-chair rest induced a substantially longer sleep accompanied with a parasympathetic activation, thereby resulting in a material improvement in sleepiness after the rest.
