Differences between participants who napped on a daily basis and those who napped less regularly, as well as nap duration were explored.
To explore differences in symptom severity in participants who regularly engaged in daily napping behavior and those who napped less regularly or not at all, differences between scores across the assessment measures were calculated (Table 2).
Participants who regularly took a daytime nap were found to have a higher number of co-morbidities, increased levels of pain, fatigue, sleep problems, memory difficulties, and mood disturbance in comparison to participants with FMS who napped less regularly or not at all.
After adjustment for age and sex, daytime napping was associated with a 22% increase in the risk of all-cause mortality in persons who napped less than 1 hour (hazard ratio (HR) = 1.22, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.13, 1.31) and a 54% increase for persons who napped 1 hour or longer (HR = 1.54, 95% CI: 1.31, 1.81).

We also found that subjective reports of napping less and PSG measures indicating less daytime sleepiness were associated with higher quality of life.
This association was more pronounced for death from respiratory diseases (for napping less than 1 hour, hazard ratio = 1.40, 95% confidence interval: 0.95, 2.05; for napping 1 hour or more, hazard ratio = 2.56, 95% confidence interval: 1.34, 4.86) and in individuals 65 years of age or younger.
This association was little changed after additional adjustment for preexisting health conditions, with a 14%and32%2% increase in all-cause mortality risk among those who napped for less than 1 hour or 1 hour or more per day, respectively.
To enable the exploration of the impact of regular napping behaviour on symptoms in FMS, participants were classified into two categories, those who reported regularly taking a daytime nap at least once a day (or more often), and those who engaged in naps less frequently.
