After a few hours of break time, the children either stayed awake or got to nap, sleeping for average of 77 minutes. Although napping makes no difference to feeling sleepiness, it did enhance memory. When tested later in the day, students who had rested performed better. Even the next day, students who napped at the initial lesson still retained more information.
