Short nap versus short rest: Recuperative effects during VDT work
Article Abstract:
The result of having a 20 minutes nap between two hours of visual display terminal (VDT) work is evaluated against having a 20 minutes rest between the VDT work. The outcome indicates that people who had a 20 minutes nap between the work, performed better in the latter one hour as against those who had just rested, thus a short nap is very useful to overcome and prevent fatigue.
