Since ancient times, there has been a saying that "work at sunrise and rest at sunset". However, this lifestyle, which came from the era of insufficient lighting equipment and dominated by agricultural society, is very difficult for modern people. The sleep mode that adapts to the rhythm of modern society is segmented sleep.
Several times a day for 2-3 hours.
Segmented sleep helps to eliminate fatigue. Most people sleep once a day and sleep for 5-8 hours at night. However, the striking sleep method in Japan recently is 2-3 hours of segmented sleep several times a day. Paul Ueda, a Japanese health lecturer who specializes in teaching sleep and improving memory ability, said that she had slept for more than 1 1 hour and still felt tired, but since the implementation of the 4.5-hour short sleep method, her work and study have been several times more energetic than others.
3-4-hour segmented sleep method
Eliminating brain fatigue helps to improve learning efficiency. Ueda Paul said that although many people want to use their off-duty time to cultivate their second major, apply for a license, or engage in leisure hobbies, although there are still many things they want to do, they are always frustrated by fatigue. For people who often work late and want more private space, it is very suitable to use staged sleep.
For example, sleep for seven hours a day. After coming home from the company, you can sleep for three hours, get up for dinner, refresh yourself, study, engage in entertainment activities, sleep for another four hours, and get up early for work. This practice can make the brain eliminate fatigue and improve sleep and work efficiency.
Liver-nourishing segmental sleep method
Grasp the timing of nourishing the liver by stages: promote the secretion of growth hormone and promote metabolism. Another method of staged sleep regimen is to keep sleeping from 10 to 2 pm, which not only makes the liver rest, but also is the time for growth hormone secretion. Growth hormone is not only related to children, but also to adults. Growth hormone can promote metabolism and has great influence on skin and health.
This year, Tetsuko Kuroyanagi, the 82-year-old comprehensive host of the traditional Japanese Spring Festival program "Red and White Songs and Fighting", is still active in TV programs every day, and sleeps in stages from 10 to 2 pm.
