in connection with

Is "in connection with" an appropriate expression in the following context?

"While, based on previous studies, night time napping is an effective measure to increase alertness and prevent increasing sleepiness, there are many factors in connection with napping that should be considered; its negative impacts including a temporary period of impaired performance and mood after waking up from nap which is called sleep inertia should also be taken into consideration."

Thanks!
