Is it recommended for COPD patients to nap at noon?

The answer to the question is related to potential night-sleep disruption, 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 that a nap helps you go to bed at a time that allows you a continuous 7-night night's sleep. Thus, the duration of the nap has great significance. Usually, the nap is limited to one to two hours at most.
