This may be because the habits of people in each country and region are different, just like the Chinese food of Chinese and the Western food of foreigners are very different. Whether you take a nap or not, as long as it is good for your health, we can do it.
-
Because the genes of Chinese and foreigners are different, foreigners especially like to eat some foods such as mutton and beef, and their bodies will be stronger.
-
The lifestyle is completely different, resulting in no napping habits abroad; The pace of life in Chinese is relatively fast.

Most foreigners don't sleep, and foreigners' lunches are mainly sandwiches, vegetables, and fruits, which are low in carbohydrates, and they often drink coffee, so they rarely get sleepy. Moreover, the summer in foreign countries is not so hot, they think there is no need to delay the time to take a nap, and in other seasons it gets dark early, and if you take a nap, it will be dark in a blink of an eye.
It is recommended to use a pillow or pillow to raise the head and face so that the waist is not too bent, or to put the hands on the forehead as a fulcrum to reduce the pressure on the face or eyes.
The right time to take a nap.
If the nap time is too short, it is difficult to relieve fatigue, and you will lose energy in the afternoon, while if the nap time is too long, it will not only sleep more deeply and not be easy to wake up, but also may affect the work in the afternoon and sleep at night. Therefore, after experiments, it was found that a healthy nap time of 15-30 minutes is most appropriate, and try not to exceed one hour.

Lunch break is a common social phenomenon in our country, taking a nap for half an hour at noon will become energetic in the afternoon, so whether it is a child, an adult or an elderly person will basically take a nap at noon, napping can be said to be a cultural habit that has been inherited in China for thousands of years. However, napping abroad is basically non-existent, why do Chinese like napping and foreigners don't need napping? This should be analyzed from the aspects of eating habits, living habits and culture.
Chinese food culture is broad and profound, different cooking methods make food taste different, people who are used to Chinese diet since childhood will be very unaccustomed to living abroad, there will be a large number of high-carb food on the table of Chinese, such as rice and pasta, no staple food will not be full, it is high-carb food will make the human body use more energy to consume, there will be a phenomenon of "food sleepiness", while foreign tables are mainly salads and meat, consuming less energy they need, Part of the reason is that foreigners demand coffee and feel refreshed even if they don't take a nap.
In China, the time of the day is arranged very full, whether it is to work or school, the crowd basically follows the 9 to 5 time, need a nap to ensure that the afternoon is energetic, foreign primary school students leave school at one or two o'clock in the afternoon, followed by plenty of entertainment and rest time, and will not go to a nap, office workers have coffee to refresh their minds, and the lifestyle is completely different so that there is no nap habit abroad.
Since ancient times, China has been made by sunrise, sunset and rest life away from you, "with the sun and the moon and its light, and the four seasons in its order" to form a nap habit, the ancients took a nap in order to replenish qi, and now with the development of society and the Internet, people are basically playing mobile phones, chasing dramas and staying up all night, which also leads to poor spirit during the day, so you need to take a nap to replenish your spirit. In other countries, they think that napping is a waste of time, and they will put important work at noon, and even if they are not in good spirits, they have the habit of coffee to refresh themselves, so they do not need to take a nap.

Habit issues. Maybe this is the habit of each place is different, because our people from ancient times to the present are very hard-working, it can be said that they go out early and return late, so they definitely need to rest for a while at noon, and their bodies will not be tired in the afternoon, and they will have more energy to work.
-
Chinese usually study and work are relatively heavy, and need to use nap time to rest.
-
Mainly because the lunch of the Chinese is relatively rich, and people are also sleepy after eating; Because foreigners' lunch meals are generally relatively simple.

From the geographical point of view, Western Europe, Northern Europe and the United States mostly belong to the temperate climate, the weather is not hot, and there is naturally no saying to avoid the sun and take a nap. The later the sunrise and the earlier the sunset, the later people get up, and they are not in a hurry to go to bed at noon. Western Europe, Northern Europe, of course, there are hot places in the United States, but Americans like to take a bath to refresh themselves rather than take a nap.
In terms of diet, Americans' lunch generally has a low proportion of carbohydrates, lunch is the simplest of the three meals, mostly eat some vegetables, fruits, chicken breasts or sandwiches, the amount is not very much, this eating habit is mostly protein, and the coffee machine that can be seen everywhere makes Lao Mei completely sleepy.
Culturally, foreigners think that it is okay to sleep on the table, and they will also think that you are sick and will tell you to go home and rest, so as not to infect them. Taking a nap is a symbol of the old and weak, women and children, and no one wants or dares to take a nap in this cultural context. Students don't spend much time in school, and in Spanish-influenced Latin American countries, classes end at 2 p.m., while other countries end at 3 p.m., and then they don't know what a nap is after that.
Europeans and Americans pay attention to their own time, life and work are very separated, employees also in order not to work overtime, work efficiency is very high, really tired to drink some coffee or go to the rest area to take a break, absolutely do not pretend to be busy or lazy, finish things early and go home early, do not like to stay in the company.
Europeans and Americans also have the habit of fitness, and the sports atmosphere is also very popular, coupled with short working hours and many holidays, paid annual leave is often from 20 days, and the physical condition is better than that of Asians, and it is also very energetic to not take a nap.

Confucius said: If you don't sleep at noon, you will collapse in the afternoon. Mencius said: Confucius was right. Chinese seem to have an obsession with napping, yet Westerners rarely take naps. Why is that?
01.Traditionally, China is an agrarian nation, paying attention to working at sunrise and resting at sunset. The plan of the day lies in the morning, and if you get up too early at noon, of course, you need to rest. At noon, the scorching sun is on the head, and the work efficiency is low, so it is just right to rest.
Long-term farming life has made Chinese develop the habit of napping. However, the Western nomads do not have the habit of taking a nap. After entering industrial production earlier, the nightlife became richer, and it was natural that you would wake up late in the morning and naturally not need to take a nap at noon.
When I was living in the United States, I found that my classmates and colleagues rarely ate staple food at noon, at most a sandwich, a piece of chocolate, and an apple. Coupled with the ubiquitous coffee machine, it's almost impossible to get sleepy at noon.
03.Since the social habit is not to sleep, European and American countries have not arranged nap time since primary school, and there is no place for napping, so the biological clock naturally does not have such an arrangement. In the workplace, noon is also a critical period for many jobs, and there is no possibility of napping at all.
And China, in order to allow children to take a nap, has specially set up a small dining table, which gets off work at 11:30 in the morning, and if you don't catch up, you can only wait for 2:30 in the afternoon. Social habits are designed according to napping, not taking a nap in China, and taking a nap in Europe and the United States will bring a lot of troubles to life.
Is napping healthier? With the development of globalization, it is difficult to take a nap in China's first-tier cities. Naping has also become a luxury for many professions. Finally, I would like to add, by the way, Europeans and Americans will also take a nap, but it will not be fixed at noon.
A Russian study divided human sleep into 4 types according to the amount of time people spend concentrating. Chinese are in better shape in the morning and afternoon; Europeans and Americans are more defined as night owls; However, more and more people are calling it chaotic, that is, they have to be energetic at all times of the day, regardless of the time of day, especially in professions such as doctors, police officers, and pilots who need to ensure their concentration at all times. From long-term studies, there is no conclusive jury on whether napping makes Chinese healthier or Westerners healthier.
napping, or not sleeping; when to sleep; how long you sleep; In fact, the jury is inconclusive.
If you are also accompanied by dizziness in the morning and awakening in the evening; climb a few floors and be out of breath; Occasionally, there is a blackness in front of the eyes and numbness of the limbs.
Then, you need to have a comprehensive examination of the cardiovascular system!
