You know those days where you're just lacking in energy and it doesn't matter how much tea you drink or fruit you eat, all you feel like is a small nap?

I've always thought that it would be a great idea for companies to let us all have a nap during the day so we feel fresh and ready for the rest of the afternoon. Great idea don't you think? Well now there's research to back me up. Check out this story:

Six minute nap 'may boost memory'

Even the shortest of catnaps may be enough to improve performance in memory tests, say German scientists.

Just six minutes "shut-eye" for volunteers was followed by significantly better recall of words, New Scientist magazine reported.

"Ultra-short" sleep could launch memory processing in the brain, they suggested.
