I assume that taking naps is associated with having kids or working nights, 2 things not good for you health anyways.

This is why the news sucks. They are saying that napping is a trait of people who are at risk. They are not saying napping causes it. But their headlines are shit

I don't know how to break this to you without sounding crazy, but the news is propaganda. They intentionally create incorrect headlines knowing that most people only read the headline. It is intentional misinformation. The underlying research that is hidden in the body of text no one reads is just there for plausible deniability. When they get called out for lying the apologists come out to defend them with "this is what they meant, they just accidentally misunderstood".

It's a strategy, and it works.

You’re not breaking anything new to me, but thank you.

I have been studying this topic for decades, and am an expert in napping. This fearmongering bullshit is the last straw!!!

I'm thinking there's a difference between people who plan to have a nap and those who just randomly fall asleep against their will. Yet both will count as a nap.

No they don't. One is called passing out. Or narcolepsy. People don't just fall asleep against thier will.

My dad will fall asleep against his will 10 times during a movie he wants to see.

That's not passing out or narcolepsy.

That's being old.

Narcolepsy is some crazy shit, old friend of mine would drift off mid sentence, or end up on a bus for hours due to always missing his stop. Miss that guy, legend has it, he's still on that bus.

I've done both, and they are both naps. When I'm at home, I lay down and take a nap. When my wife is driving, I randomly fall asleep. Neither of these are related to SADS.

My dads been taking a nap every day for nearly 20+ years and he is in great health for a dude in his early sixties.
