    Napping is good, sleep experts have found that the human body tends to sleep in two stages, once at night, the central body temperature and wakefulness will drop at the same time; The other occurred in the afternoon, but to a lesser extent.

    Regardless of whether you get enough sleep at night, taking a nap in the middle of the day is a normal physiological need of human beings. Proper napping can make up for the lack of sleep at night, make the hormone secretion in the body more balanced, slow down the body's metabolism, reduce energy consumption, and avoid premature aging. Medical experts have found in experiments that taking a 30-minute nap every day can reduce the incidence of coronary heart disease by 30%.

    The mountainous north of Ecuador is one of the world's longest-lived regions, and its inhabitants have the habit of taking a nap.

    Studies have confirmed that napping relaxes and rests all systems of the brain and body, and is more effective than drinking coffee and cola in helping people relax their minds, reduce stress, and eliminate fatigue. And this relaxation is becoming more and more important for modern people.

    Work is productive after a nap.

    According to the New York Times, a 24-minute nap can effectively improve the concentration and performance of pilots flying across the Atlantic. According to a NASA study, a 45-minute nap a day increases productivity by 35 percent and increases the ability to make good decisions by 50 percent. Scientist Rockin said the study shattered the illusion that the longer you are awake, the more productive you are.

    The Harvard Center for Psychology Research divided 105 office workers into two groups: taking a nap and not taking a nap. The results showed that those who took a one-hour nap were 90% awake in the afternoon compared to 9 a.m. when they first went to work. From this, Dr. Mednik advises bosses:

    In order to be productive at work, let employees enjoy the benefits of napping.

    Sleep research experts from the German Institute of Psychiatry recently released the results of a study saying that the human body sleeps according to a hypercircadian rhythm, and in addition to the night, sleep is also needed during the day. Germans don't usually have the habit of taking naps, but after the results were announced, more and more office workers started to take a break in the office during the day. The town of Vuhita, near Hamburg, has announced that it encourages employees to take a 20-minute nap at noon every day.

    It's best not to take a nap at your desk.

    Napping is closely related to an individual's physique, sleep status, age, and disease. All people who lack sleep at night and those who are frail and sick should take a nap, except for the elderly with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, napping is beneficial and harmless to most people.

    However, in order to achieve a healthy nap, there are also a few points to pay attention to: it is not advisable to overeat before napping, and start taking a nap half an hour after meals, and the time should be within half an hour. If possible, it is best to lie down for a nap, but most office workers take a nap due to limited conditions, which will reduce the blood supply to the head, and a series of symptoms such as dizziness, dizziness, and fatigue will occur after waking up, and will also compress the eyeballs and induce eye diseases.

    In addition, napping at the desk can compress the chest, affect breathing, and also affect blood circulation and nerve conduction, making the arms and hands numb and painful.

    Yes. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that 1:00 a.m. to 3:00 a.m. is the time for detoxification of the liver meridian. At this time, you should also continue to sleep soundly to facilitate the detoxification of the liver and gallbladder . Therefore, not taking a nap affects the detoxification of the liver.

    Western medicine believes that the liver is the largest gland in the human body, which is not only related to the metabolism of sugars, proteins, fats, hormones, vitamins, etc., but also has the effect of secretion and excretion of biotransformation, and the detoxification function of the liver is officially a biotransformation (enzyme metabolism) process.

    For example, taking alcohol as an example, 90%-98% of alcohol is metabolized by the liver, as far as the detoxification function of the liver is concerned, when to drink, when it starts the "acetaldehyde convertase" to detoxify, so the body does not start the detoxification mechanism according to the dogmatic time, if it is really detoxified according to the listed time, then human beings have long ceased to exist in the world, but it can be determined that proper and regular sleep is important for maintaining health.

    The benefits are many Three taboos for napping:

    Do not sit on the sofa to sleep, which will affect the blood supply to the head, and it is easy to experience dizziness and dizziness after waking up. In the long run, a person's memory will fade or they may develop cerebral ischemia.

    Avoid taking a nap immediately after lunch, people's gastrointestinal peristalsis is strengthened, blood circulation is accelerated, and falling asleep at this time will cause insufficient blood supply to the whole body and brain, and after waking up, it will be more tired and uncomfortable.

    Do not wake up violently after waking up after a nap after waking up the heartbeat slows down, the blood supply to the body is small, the heart and cerebral blood vessels are relatively constricted, if you wake up, it will inevitably make the heart and cerebral blood vessels expand rapidly, which is easy to cause cerebral hemorrhage.

    But napping is good for most people, and even a 30-minute nap can help you get rid of fatigue. However, there are some people who are exceptions. The German psychiatrist Schulley, through a large number of studies, believes that at least the following types of people are not suitable for napping:

    1 Persons over 64 years of age who weigh more than 20 of their standard body weight2 People with low blood pressure;3 People with severe disorders of the blood circulation system, especially those who often experience headache and dizziness due to narrowing of cerebral blood vessels. Because when people are sleeping, the heart rate is relatively slow and the cerebral blood flow is small, and the above-mentioned people are prone to temporary insufficient blood supply to the brain during napping, resulting in autonomic nerve dysfunction, so that dizziness, headache, fatigue and other phenomena often occur when they wake up from a nap, making people feel uncomfortable and uncomfortable. In particular, if the nap time is too long, the central nervous system of the brain will deepen the inhibition, prompting the blood vessels of brain cells to close for too long, so that the blood flow to the brain will be further reduced, and the symptoms will be more obvious after the nap, and even aggravate the condition.

    Therefore, it is best for the above patients not to take a nap. Pay attention to work in the morning and do not overly fatigue, and ensure the quality of sleep in the evening, which can reduce physical fatigue and other discomforts.
