| Research Abstract |
The present study was a field survey of the napping behavior of elderly facility residents. It examines the effect of a short nap on subsequent activity and night sleep. We also examined the posture and location of the participants during their nap. After selecting participants with napping ability, we evaluated their nap index, sleep position index, nap location, active mass, and their activity after napping, using actigraphs and observations. We compared the results of those participants who had a short nap (<30 minutes) with those who had a longer nap.
The short nap did not affect night sleep or the amount of activity after the nap; however, it did influence the content of the activity. Moreover, participants in the nap group had a short time to be in the living room. Therefore, the prompting of a short nap for elderly facility residents can promote daytime wakefulness. Consequently, it is necessary to arrange the environment to be conducive to napping.
