NEW YORK, N.Y.; April 15, 2014 --
We've always thought taking a short nap during the day is good for our health. But now a study shows it might lead to early death. Scientists followed 16-thousand people over 15 years.
They found people who napped for less than an hour a day, increased their risk of death by 14-percent.
If the nap went over an hour, that jumped to 32-percent.
But researchers say this is likely because people who nap regularly, already have a medical problem that's putting them at risk.
