E., Fogel, S. M., & Cote, K. A. (2006). Habitual napping moderates motor performance improvements following a short daytime nap. Biological Psychology, 73(2), 141–156. <a href='https://doi.org/10.1016/j.biopsycho.2006.01.015'>https://doi.org/10.1016/j.biopsycho.2006.01.015</a>Morita, Y., Ogawa, K., & Uchida, S. (2016).
