Ai Jiaren | The right way to take a nap

Many people have the habit of napping, but not the right way. Especially some office workers, often take advantage of the lunch time, lying on the table to sleep. On the surface, naps can make office workers refreshed and relieve stress appropriately. In fact, inappropriate naps will give us headaches, dizziness, and lumbar spondylosis or cervical spondylosis. For the best nap, be sure to do the following:

1. The best nap time is 10-20 minutes. For most people, the longer the nap time is, the better. If the nap time is too long, the brain will be dull after waking up, which is not conducive to continuing to work in the afternoon.

2. Do not take a nap immediately after lunch. I just had lunch, I should rest for about half an hour before taking a nap. Only in this way, the food in the stomach can be fully digested without stomach bloating.

3. When taking a nap, try to lay yourself flat and get rid of the bad habit of “sleeping on your stomach”. Sleeping on the stomach will make our heads keep pressing on the arms, affecting the return of blood, causing the “garbage” in the capillaries to be transported away and the “nutrition” to be transported.

4. After waking up, be sure to drink a glass of water. After waking up, drinking a glass of water can refresh your mind, help your body replenish blood volume, and dilute blood viscosity.
