You are less stressed after the nap. You can have issues going on that you are not quite aware! A nap helps us recharge and take off a little bit of stress that we can carry
You may have hypoventilated causing cerebral vasoconstriction resulting in less “low grade” headache and thus feeling happier
Short naps in the afternoon are sorely needed in our backwards culture. Good for you!

Sometimes a nap is more refreshing than night sleep.
