How to take a nap is healthy?

For many years, I have the habit of taking a nap for many years. My experience is that taking a nap can relieve the fatigue caused by intense work in the first half, make the work in the second half full of fighting spirit and vitality, which is of great benefit to work and health. So from a health point of view, what should you pay attention to during a nap?

First, the nap time is controlled at about one hour.

A short nap time can't relieve fatigue, but a long nap time will produce drowsiness, which is counterproductive. On the other hand, for office workers, in addition to eating at noon, the rest time that can be taken out is about one hour, which just meets the demand.

Second, take a nap in bed.

Due to the limitation of time and unit conditions, many people are used to sitting in a chair or climbing on a table for a nap. This kind of nap is not only not conducive to relieving fatigue, but also leads to more burnout because of local stress on the body. In addition, it is not safe to fall and get injured during such a nap.

Third, the indoor light should be slightly dark.

Too strong light will bring "stress" to the body and affect the quality of sleep. So when you take a nap, you'd better close the curtains. It is also advisable to keep quiet and avoid waking up in shock, so it is best to close the door.

Fourth, cover the quilt or sheets.

You don't have to take off your clothes for a nap, but don't wear too much. You can take off your coat or thick cotton-padded clothes and shoes. But cover the quilt in winter, and cover it thinly in spring and autumn to avoid catching cold.

Step 5 set the alarm clock

Because I still go to work according to the regulations in the second half of the day, I need time to control my nap. Setting an alarm clock can ensure that I am woken up at 8 o'clock, but I don't have to worry about being late, so I can sleep more safely and help ensure the quality of my nap.

Finally, please remember that those who can work should have a rest!
