Generally speaking, the best time to take a nap should be about half an hour after lunch, between 12- 15, and sleep for 20-30 minutes. In addition, it is best not to take a nap for more than 30 minutes. Sleep too long, easy to fall into deep sleep, affecting sleep at night. The benefits of sleeping are as follows.
1. Eliminate drowsiness. People are prone to feel sleepy after lunch, because more blood enters the stomach to participate in food digestion, resulting in reduced blood circulation in the head and insufficient blood supply to the head, resulting in fatigue and drowsiness. In the afternoon, you can feel sleepy and refreshed after a nap, so a nap has the function of "charging".
2. Improve memory. We are absorbing new knowledge every day, but at the same time we are losing some of our ability to absorb new knowledge. Taking a nap 10-30 minutes every day can restore cognitive ability and improve people's memory. Researchers have found that taking a nap can greatly improve people's energy and alertness, while research at the University of Dü sseldorf in Germany shows that taking a nap can not only eliminate fatigue, but also enhance memory.
3. Relieve stress. Whenever we pull away from the external sensory input, we will let ourselves enter a kind of peace to relieve stress and inner peace. Taking a nap is a very obvious way, which can help our brain deal with and clear the accumulated information overload every day, thus generating stress. Taking a nap can give our brains a rest, thus relieving stress.
4. beautify the skin. When sleeping, the organs in the body are resting when they are not exercising. Blood doesn't need to be supplied to organs to run, only considering the impact on the skin. So many people say that staying up late can make you more and more beautiful because blood plays an important role. The same is true for lunch breaks. At this time, blood is also supplying energy to the skin, which can make your skin beautiful.
5. Improve your mood and moisturize your eyes. After a busy morning and a nap at noon, you can temporarily forget the troubles and pressures of work and study, relax your body and mind, temporarily relax your nervous nerves and play a role in regulating your mood. In the afternoon, I will devote myself to my work and study again with full enthusiasm and positive attitude. Moisten your eyes. Generally, you need to get up early to go to work or school the next day after staying up late. After a long time, you will find that your body doesn't react much but your eyes feel sad. Dry feeling is very uncomfortable. Many people always rub their eyes at this time, which is wrong, because it can easily lead to eye inflammation. Eye drops are a good choice, but the medicine can only last for a short time. In fact, the right choice is to give yourself a little lunch break at noon every day, so that you can moisturize your eyes without eye discomfort.
