Yeah, that's true. In Vietnam we always take a short rest after lunch for the work afternoon. A short sleep during the day can make you more energy!

In Islam , the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) used to take naps during the day, especially in the afternoon, and this practice is known as "qaylulah." The qaylulah is considered a healthy and beneficial practice, especially for those who may not have had enough sleep the previous night.

I'm proud that our prophet Muhammed ( peace be upon him) said that before more than 1400 years ago ♥️♥️♥️♥️

Taking power naps can keep your mind sharp, but long naps might hinder you rather than help you.

Yes. A mid day nap refreshes you and makes you more alert to finish the day.

Alhumdulillah I am a muslim, and my Prophet PBUH told that 1400 year ago

Your video helps me rather than hinder. Thank you!

Hi guys i am Uzbekiston, Thank for yur har d working, i finally enhanced my speaking skill by learning new phrases and new vocabulary which you always introduce ever time

Naps is happiness! Happy people think better, work better, mood better too.

Parts that I cannot catch up with or that I cannot understand are 4:00 Naps could help or hinder your health depending on their length, study suggests 4:42 While others - longer ones - are unhelpful 5:08 I could also say that having to work hinders me being able to tale naps regularly.

My grandparents and parents take a nap every afternoon.They told me to take a nap when I was young,and I had to listen them,so I took a nap every afteroon.However,now I don't have that habit anymore,but my grandparents and parents still do.

Even the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)has mentioned and ordered us to take naps during a day . It refreshes mind ❤.

I am eighty five and have been doing this all my life, starting at kindergarten in Scotland in the forties. Val D

Being myself a Spanish person, We have been living with"siestas"(short naps) for such long time.. So nothing new for me with the discovers of this study.. Right now I woke up for a short and pleasant "siesta". Great Video and Greetings from Spain

Hello guys , as a 81 years indigenous Fijian taking naps is part of my daily routine . Yesterday second February I have changed my plan to retire in 2030 , I will retire in 2040 (97 years). Thank you for your teaching video , excellent work and have subscribed .

After watching this lesson, I'm going to take a power nap, so my mind will be sharp for tomorrow's Live Lesson!

I love your video! it's so helpful. In my country, everyone always has a power nap to prepare for a productive afternoon.

Thousand years ago, Muhammad Rasullaahu has suggested and taught the same thing.. Allahu Akbar

M qurban apny nabi py ur mry maa baap 14 so sal mery Habib ye frma k gy hn ur ASI batyn hmari ghuti me hn shukr h us Maalik ka

This is why it’s Sunna soubanAllah

1.Power naps -> The advantage of taking quick power naps is keeping your mind sharp 2.Sharp(adj):aleart and quick Keep your mind sharp 3.Hinder(verb):make sth more difficult -> hinder rather than help

I like nap so much , I feel better after a nap, in Italian there is a beautiful word that means nap and is pennichella

taking power naps (short sleep) can help your mind sharp (quick) , but long naps might hinder you rather than help you.

This video explained everything except for the nap part

I was quite surprised because foreign companies do not have a culture of napping. I'm in Vietnam, taking a nap is an indispensable part of my daily routine, it's really good and attractive. 😊

After long hours of stuyding in school, I took advantage of lunch break to have a power nap about 30 minutes . So I can come back my studying with a sharp mind. In contrast, If I have a long nap, it will hinder me from concentrating on lessons.

Taking a power nap can not only help you work your job productively but you also come up with sharp ideas. If you often have a long nap, this will make you to hinder for the upcoming tasks.

Thank a lot for you amazing video. I have learned some new things about shorter and longer naps. I prefer the short naps 'cause have more benefits. In Spain we have a nice word for nap "siesta". When you come to our country on holidays, you should take a nap, it will be helpful for your health. Enjoy it! 😅

Nice to meet you, Beth! I listen you much times on week, practicing my English! Awesome work! ☺

Your videos really reduced our boredom and motivated us to watch more and learn more of English. We are really thankful to you and grateful to you as well.

I love short nap after lunch! Thank you!

Power naps help me to concentrate on my essay subject and carry it out perfectly!☺️

I always take long naps because i think it's good for my health and keep my mind sharp..After watching this video, I should take power naps instead of long naps because long naps are unhelpful, it might hinder rather than help me.

Fantastic subject I have been taking short naps and short meditation quiet time a few times a day all my life . Even with earplugs awake cover eyes set 10 to 20 minute timer wonderful . 😌

Hi everyone ! I'm utterly charmed by the new lexics presentation. Thanx a lot ❤

i agree.naps are great.especially on a rainy or cloudy day.but,they are a luxury.alot of folks would love to nap,but arent able to.

Having a power nap in the noon can make your brain sharp and easy to work effectively. Otherwise, you can feel dog-tired, which hinders your efficiency.

Good video very useful and i like how they speak

Yeah, absolutely you're right. The power of taking power naps may help to sharpening brain and also get more thoughtful ideas . The content was awesome guys.

Yup. I love a short nap after having lunch. It boosts my energy and make my skin a little smoother. But when the weather is wet and rainy, I tend to sleep in

I actually didn’t know about ‘sharp’ word. I know only one meaning of it. So thank you a lot! I’ll try to watch more your videos

taking a 30-minute power nap not only replenishs your energy, but also generates your sharp brain. however a long nap will hinder you to make a more productive day

Although it takes us a little bit time of none working, a power nap can help us to stay sharp and hinder Alzheimer disease in the future. 😇😇😇

I totally agree. Since childhood, especially every time I take a 10-15 minute nap at the office during break time, my mind is like a computer that is rebooted, refreshed, I become fresher, ready to think hard again.

Hay estudios que dicen lo contrario. Todavía no sabemos bien el efecto de las siestas. Saludos

I have taken a nap for 2 months. Indeed, it is useful for me. It keeps my mind sharp so work’s effect level up. I just take a short nap, about 30 minutes a day but the long nap hinders me, I feel more tired.

This video really makes me confident in knowing vocabulary . It makes my day and really thankful to BBC Learning English I will watch upcoming lesson to improve my english. Until I see your channel, I always goof off but now I concentrate in learning english.

🇧🇷 Hello, I'm Rita , Tank you for everthing! I love larning English ❣️👍😜🙏👏👏👏👏🇧🇷

I used to naps from my childhood.I didn't know that it's called a Naps. I think it's short sleeping technique. But after naps,I feel fresh &more energetic than before .Also get stamina for doing my work properly. But there are very few people who have achieved this technique of sleep. My naps time is 5,10,15 not more than 20mintutes. To be honest,I think it's a great way to do relaxing

Always learning something new.

Let me add something to it. The word "hinder" comes from german word "Hindernis", which basically means "obstacle". I personally learnt German and yet in the process of learning German that's why many words that are used in English, are mostly originated from French or German. One thing I noticed here, that the british accent is very closed to the German Accent.

I think it is exactly, I usually short sleep between morning and afternoon. This help me work better and have energy during the day.

I,m so really excited to watch this amazing topic that good our health we need more guys

Having encountered a similar article, naps can reduce stress… In my particular experience, after a grievous breakdown, I found that I needed a lot more rest and sleep, of which recovery became quicker.

Napping through whole afternoon hinder my efficiency dramatically

Very happy to have subscribed! I hope to learn a lot. Thanks ❤

I'm from Brazil and I've been studying English for a short time. I really like these videos, they are very useful and fun. Thanks.

This is very helpful video for me . The way you teach us. it's actually very amazing.

As always your video was great. Thank you very much❤

I thought of taking a power nap at night while studying but it turned to a long sleep, a very very long sleep

This is true. I remember when I was in highschool. I was never really good at Math, but I usually took a nap during breaks before our next subject which was Math. And my classmates were just amazed that I even got higher score than the top students in the class and my teacher didn't even have to teach me. I simply do the self-study. When I realized this, I kept on doing it 😅

Power nap gives you energy to spend your day better ❤️

Thanks man for beautiful vocabulary sentences I hope God bless you because you help me learning English yes I really appreciate you❤

45 seconds of content during more than five minutes. I don’t mind losing four minutes unless I harshly feel it every single second. And… you get the point.

When I‘m tired and sleep maximum 30 minutes in the daytime, I‘m fit. 30 minutes is enough to me. I heart that it isn‘t good to sleep 2 hours in the daytime and that makes it even more tired.

Indeed, getting a quick power nap after a breathtaking activity helps us to stay healthier and maintain a sharp mind. Whereas, long naps are usually associated with obesity and depression and hinder sustaining an energetic mood during the day.

Yes exactly so, all kind of people have to taking power naps for their more energy in the during afternoon

Thanks a lot, it was very helpful. ❤❤

I truly love your channel. Keep doing the best work. 😍🥰

Power nap - we've had 'power nap'. A short sleep during the day. Sharp - alert and quick thinking. HInder - to make something difficult or worse.

Power naps help improve the quality of our work but long naps could hinder our productivity

Good class, thanks.

Regular power naps can improve our productivity, increase our brain sharpness and quick thing, as well as can help in lowering the risk of associated health problems. On the contrary, longer naps may hinder our efficiency and effectiveness, aslo increase the chances of health issues.

I like this guy who was speaking slowly😄

Ys, like that name it makes as suddenly gain high energy when we are tired.. i have experienced it in my college days

You must be careful and don't take yr nap at afternoon, that may hinder your brain , make you feel tired, balanced diet and regular sleep, and daily exercise and of course having power naps will make your barin sharp and awake

Thanks a lot, it's really productive. Unfortunately, it's difficult to have a nap power if you working outdoors and hard. In fact, it depends your job and your country.

Fantastic subject I have been taking short naps and short meditation quiet time a few times a day all my life . Even with earplugs awake cover eyes set 10 to 20 minute timer wonderful .

Thanks for this episode ❤I want to do have more power naps 🎉

Power naps are a good way to stay sharp during the workday. Although long naps can hinder your health

I really love BBC presenters.❤ I would become a presenter just to be like you guys. ❤❤❤ I love your lessons too

My brother is really a sharp student.

Taking power naps really can make our performance betther. I try it everyday. haha

Naps are frowned upon in America and I never understand that. Great for productivity.

I always take a power nap after school time, it makes me feel sharp for the rest of my day. Otherwise, if there's no nap, I will be sleepy and it could hinder my study performance. Is there anything unusual about the sentences above? Thanks!

i can't believe in the power nap has many benefit with my life and i get used to sleeping about 30 minutes at lunch break it's really good

Thank you BBC for this nice video.Before watching this video I only know the word nap it means short duration sleep.But after watching this video I got more vocabulary relating to nap like Power Nap,cat nap, long nap etc.Actually am like to have nap every day. I watched this video after a cat nap🙂.

I listen to these videos of BBC 6 Minutes Learning English every day for about 3 months to improve my listening skill

Thank you Beth and Phil ❤

Wonderful lesson...Thanks.

Power naps mean getting a refresh. But staying in short sleep is difficult 😅😅

what i 've learnt from the video is that power naps (short sleep, during the day to help pple get better in job's performance), sharp (take naps would help you stay in sharp in your life like answering quickly, alert in daily life) and hinder (prevent you from doing sth)...... short snaps (reduce the risk of high blood pressure) will be better and more helpful than long snaps (causing obesity,...)

Great video and tips! I'd better take a power nap now!

Very informative. I enjoyed it.

Thank you 😀

Good topic, however they did not state specifically how long (e.g. How many minutes?) is a good nap and how long, is that nap that could hinder our health in the long run?

Your body knows how much sleep you need even if it is a long nap lack of sleep puts you at risk for Alzheimer's disease and dementia and nuro degeneration
