American doctor compares nap and light exercise for memory

The recent study focused on comparing the cognitive benefits resulting from light exercise and taking a nap in protecting memory after exposing adults to severe sleep deprivation. It was found that a 20-minute workout resulted in an approximately 21% improvement in memory performance, while a 90-minute nap proved even more effective, with an increase of up to 23%. Although participants felt fatigued after exercising, tests showed that physical activity helped reduce neural stress in memory-related areas, thereby enhancing information processing efficiency. The results confirmed that both options—exercise and napping—provide significant benefits for memory protection under sleep deprivation. However, further research is still needed to confirm their applicability in cases of chronic sleep loss and across all age groups.
