Good Science
There was a recent article in the paper about a study which is very similar to others criticized by BestView. Usually, these are poorly designed and/or poorly executed and almost always they reach conclusions not supported by the study itself. This latest study suggests that men who take a nap after lunch have fewer cardiovascular problems, such as heart attacks, than men who don't nap. There is nothing particularly novel about this finding since men who are sufficiently stress-free to nap during the day have a decided life-style advantage, but I enjoy my naps so I embrace these results.
