Modern people, poor sleep quality has become the norm. sleep cannot be guaranteed, please make good use of this “high-quality sleep time” during the day!
Sleep 10 minutes for 2 hours!
Napping is a habit that many people have developed since childhood.
Nap is a very important gas station. I take a half-hour lunch break every day. The lunch break has a great impact on the work of the day, especially the work in the afternoon. I live in Guangdong, the temperature is relatively high, people get tired easily, take a nap for a while, and work better. Now more and more people insist on taking a nap, which is a good habit.
In addition to restoring energy quickly, taking a nap can also help the body repair damage and prevent disease.
Especially for the elderly with underlying diseases, nap is more important.
A 2019 study found that people who took occasional naps (once or twice a week) were less likely to take a nap than those who didn’t nap at all The risk of stroke/heart failure was almost halved, by 48%.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that midnight and noon are the most suitable times for sleeping in a day, and these two hours are the key moments of “alternation of yin and yang” .
Nap sleep is just within the range of noon, calming down and resting will help nourish the body’s heart and yang and maintain the balance of yin and yang in the body.
Even if you don’t get a good night’s sleep, a high-quality nap can give you a rosy complexion, refreshed mind, and quick mind.
nap naps can’t be too long
Many don’t take naps of people said that they couldn’t sleep at night after taking a nap. Actually, it might be too long a nap!
It is necessary to master a degree of nap, Chinese and foreign doctors believe that “less” nap is appropriate.
It is generally believed that it is more comfortable to sleep for about 20 minutes between 1 and 2 noon.
Because, people’s sleep can be simply divided into two stages, “light sleep” and “deep sleep”, which are cycled alternately. .
The average person goes from light sleep to deep sleep 30 minutes after falling asleep, and then lasts about 30 minutes of deep sleep.
Waking up during deep sleep can make people more prone to drowsiness and headaches.
So take a nap of only 10-30 minutes and try to wake up before the deep sleep phase.
Can’t sleep right after lunch
eating It is indeed easy to be sleepy, but sleeping after eating is very harmful:
< span>For the digestive system: it is easy to cause indigestion, induce gastritis and even cause food reflux, causing reflux esophagitis;
li>
For the brain: It may be due to insufficient blood supply to the brain, which may easily cause dizziness after waking up, weakness of the limbs, and soreness all over the body.
For the blood vessels in the head: the capillaries under the skin will dilate immediately after eating and sleeping. When the blood flow increases, the blood rushes to the digestive organs to compete with the brain for blood, which may lead to the risk of cerebral embolism.
So it is best to take a nap 20 minutes to half an hour after lunch.
TIP: Don’t sleep too late for a nap. The best time to take a nap is 6-8 hours after waking up in the morning and 8 hours before going to bed at night. This can not only relieve the fatigue of work and study in the morning, but also not affect the sleep at night after a short nap. For those who can’t take a nap or have difficulty falling asleep, it is also possible to listen to soft music or close their eyes to rest their minds instead of taking a nap.
