Tip #5: Naps Won't Hurt You, BUT...

There is nothing inherently harmful about napping. In fact, naps are a recommended treatment for narcolepsy, and for those who feel unsafe driving because of daytime sleepiness, a nap can be a lifesaver. That being said, if you have insomnia and you've been napping, then those naps could be using up your sleep drive. So when you try to go to bed at night, you don't have as high a drive for sleep, and you have a harder time falling asleep.

If you are suffering from insomnia, and you've been napping, try cutting the naps out for a few weeks. You may find that you start having an easier time falling asleep.
