TL;DR
Regular napping is common among older adults and a strong association with excessive daytime sleepiness, and other factors that independently increased prevalence included a diagnosis of depression, bodily pain, and nocturia.
Abstract
Regular napping is common among older adults. Longitudinal studies of napping behavior and health status are needed to establish risk factors other than excessive daytime sleepiness.

It appears that the presence of EDS is more strongly associated with depression and metabolic factors than with sleep-disordered breathing or sleep disruption per se, and patients with a complaint of E DS should be thoroughly assessed for depression and obesity/diabetes independent of whether sleep- disordered breathing is present.

A non-significant trend suggested that the duration of naps may be associated with increased difficulty initiating nocturnal sleep, but no significant relationship was observed between any reported napping dimension and indicators of noctrical sleep difficulty except for a small subgroup who used pharmacologic sleep aids.
