Does disablebod help save power during a nap?

On page 230 of the PicAxe Manual 2 for the sleep command it says: "Some PICAXE chips support the disablebod (enablebod) command to disable the brown-out detect function. Use of this command prior to a sleep will considerably reduce the current drawn during the sleep command."

I was wondering if using disablebod might also help save power in a system that is programmed to nap about 2 out of every 3 seconds or so. Would it be worth it? Or is there something about nap that is different from sleep so that power would not be saved?

Thanks.

Nap and sleep both function in a similar way, so yes, disabling the BOD will help.
Nap is just a 'shorter' sleep.
