Your article was very interesting! I am currently in a fluency course and we've talked a little bit about the affects of sleep on stuttering and disfluency, but not as in depth as you did. I was wondering if during your research or from your personal experience you found any information on napping and stuttering. You said in your article that sleep deprivation can also contribute to diminished cognitive function. I am just curious if on a day where a person doesn't get enough sleep, if a nap/sleeping later in the day for a short amount of time may help with their stuttering and/or cognitive functioning.
