Many chronic heart disease patients nap after lunch (metabolic fatigue). The question is, is it recommended for CHD patients to sleep at noon?

The answer is related to a potential night-sleep disruption, which is essential for the immune system to repair damaged cells. The pineal gland in the brain controls the biological clock using the hormone melatonin. If your nap will cause you to go to bed very late and, as a result, sleepless hours at night than desired, then the answer is that nap is not desirable. On the other hand, it is recommended only if a nap helps you go to bed at a time that allows you a continuous 7-hour night's sleep. Usually, the nap is limited to one to two hours at most.
