Do lefties, righties benefit differently from power nap? At ‘rest,’ brain’s right hemisphere ‘talks’ more than left hemisphere does

October 17, 2012 by

This study supports the benefits of a power nap. At rest, the right hemisphere talks more to itself and to the left hemisphere than the left hemisphere communicates -- whether the subject is right or left handed. Researchers explain that the brain could be doing housecleaning, classifying data, or consolidating memories, which could explain the power of napping. But could a power nap benefit righties more then lefties?
