How to take a nap during Xiaoshu solar term to be healthier

　　After a morning of work and study, the human body consumes a lot of physical and mental energy. After lunch, be sure to lie in bed and sleep for a while to relieve fatigue and replenish your physical strength, so that you will have more physical and mental energy to devote to the afternoon work. So, how can you make the most of your nap time and make your nap more enjoyable? healthy , more scientific?

　　What are the benefits of taking a nap during Xiaoshu Festival?

　　Experts said that at noon in summer, the scorching sun is shining like a fireball. Due to the high ambient temperature, skin Blood vessels tend to expand easily, and a large amount of blood is concentrated in the skin, causing imbalance of blood distribution in the body, especially the reduction of blood in the brain, resulting in a temporary relative lack of blood supply to the brain, making people feel unenergetic and drowsy. So taking a nap is crucial.

　　Eliminate fatigue and restore energy. In the morning, people are always more energetic. This is because after a night's rest, internal functions have been rested and the fatigue from the previous day has disappeared. However, after working or studying for a morning, due to the high concentration and tension of physical and mental strength, new fatigue occurs again, and the heat in the human body is also greatly consumed. At this time, physiological functions not only require compensation for the consumed heat, but also require the ability to properly eliminate fatigue and restore energy, so that better work and study can be carried out in the afternoon.

　　Supplement sleep, relieve summer heat and relieve fever. In summer, the days are long and the nights are short, the weather is hot, birds chirp in the morning, mosquitoes bite and flies crawl at night, and the heat is so intense that people fall asleep late at night and wake up early in the morning. Not only is the sleep time short, but the quality of sleep is also not high. This makes it even more necessary to take a nap to make up for the lack of night sleep. Moreover, since noon is the hottest time of the day, most people's heatstroke occurs around noon. If you can take a nap and relax for a while at this time, the incidence of heatstroke will be reduced.

　　Increase physical strength and improve function. Although nap is not the main sleep and is short-lived, its effect cannot be ignored. Taking a nap is not only helpful to make up for the necessary sleep time, so that the body can get sufficient rest, but also has a good effect on improving the function of the brain's blood supply system, enhancing physical strength, eliminating fatigue, and improving work efficiency in the afternoon. At the same time, taking a nap can also enhance the body's anti-epidemic function. In addition, napping can also reduce the chance of cerebrovascular accidents.

　　Protect the brain and relieve tension. When sleeping, not only the cerebral cortex nerve Cells are protected and inhibited and rested. At the same time, all parts of the body also get a comprehensive rest. The muscles of the whole body are relaxed, the physical energy consumed by activities can be gradually recovered, and various organs within the body can work calmly and more regularly.

　　How to take a nap during the Xiaoxiao Festival to be healthier?

　　According to relevant surveys, only nearly 30% of people have the habit of taking naps regularly, and 80% of these people have improper sleeping postures and improper sleep time, which greatly reduces the quality of their naps.； More than half of the people think that taking a nap is not necessary and they only do it perfunctorily when they are too sleepy. Due to the high temperature at noon in summer, during the cooling and perspiration process of the human body, the capillaries of the skin expand, the blood distribution in the body is unbalanced, a large amount of blood remains in the periphery, and the blood supply to the brain is relatively insufficient. After a busy morning of work and study, people generally feel tired and in poor spirits. If you take a nap correctly after lunch, your body will make timely adjustments, which is very beneficial to your work and study in the afternoon. So, how to make a nap more scientific and healthy? Director Peng Shilin told everyone to pay attention to the following points:

　　Don’t eat greasy food before going to bed, and don’t eat too much. Greasy food will increase blood viscosity, aggravate coronary artery disease, increase the burden of gastric digestion, and affect the quality of lunch breaks.

　　sleep Pillows should be used when sleeping, which can reduce stress on the heart, prevent snoring, and help gastrointestinal function.

　　The best nap position is to lie flat on your back or on your side.

　　The length of nap time can be determined according to the sleep state at night and the degree of fatigue at work in the morning. Generally, it should not be too long, about half an hour is appropriate. If you sleep for too long, you will feel drowsy when you wake up due to deep sleep.

　　After waking up, do light activities. After taking a nap, stand up slowly and drink a glass of water to replenish blood volume and dilute blood viscosity. Do not engage in complicated and dangerous work immediately.

　　Avoid strong external stimulation, because after falling asleep, muscles relax, capillaries dilate, and sweat pores expand, making you susceptible to disease. cold or other disease , but also pay attention to protect yourself from wind and cold, and avoid air conditioning fans blowing directly on your body.

　　Do not take a nap while sitting or lying on your stomach. Napping at the desk or sitting down will reduce the blood supply to the head, causing symptoms of cerebral ischemia and hypoxia such as dizziness, dizziness, and tinnitus after waking up. Over time, it can also cause spinal deformation, lumbar muscle strain, etc. Some people use their hands as pillows and lie down on the table to take a nap. This puts pressure on the eyeballs, compresses the chest, affects breathing, affects blood circulation and nerve conduction, and makes the arms and hands numb and tingling.

　　Do not lie down and sleep casually on the corridor, under the shade of a tree, on the grass, or on the concrete floor, and do not sleep in a draft. Because the function of the central body temperature regulation center decreases during sleep, people in severe cases may catch a cold or catch a cold, while in mild cases, it may cause physical discomfort after waking up.

　　However, due to the high temperature at noon during Xiaoshu, during the body's cooling and perspiration process, the skin capillaries expand, the blood distribution in the body is unbalanced, a large amount of blood remains on the body surface, and the blood supply to the brain is relatively insufficient. After a morning of intense work and study, people generally feel tired and lack of energy. If you take a nap correctly after lunch, your body will adjust in time, which is very beneficial to people's health, work and study. Therefore, a nap is a scientific adjustment of the human body's biological clock. Not all kinds of naps can achieve the purpose of rest. The following points should be noted:

　　One taboo: The longer the nap, the better

　　The appropriate nap time is half an hour to one hour. If you sleep too much, you will fall into deep sleep and you will feel very uncomfortable when you wake up. If you encounter this situation, do some exercise after getting up, or wash your face with cold water and drink a glass of water. The discomfort will disappear quickly.

　　Two taboos: taking a nap at will

　　Do not just lie down and take a nap under the corridor, under the shade of a tree, on the grass, or on the cement floor, and do not take a nap in a draft or vent. Because the function of the central body temperature regulation center decreases during sleep, people in severe cases may catch colds and colds, and in mild cases, may feel unwell after waking up.

　　Three taboos: Napping while sitting or lying down

　　Due to limited conditions, many people sit or lie down on the edge of the table to take a nap. They have formed the habit of taking a nap while sitting or lying down for a long time, which is extremely detrimental to their health. Lying on the edge of the table to take a nap will compress the chest, affect breathing, and make the arms numb. It will not achieve the purpose of resting the body.

　　Four taboos: Everyone needs a nap

　　Not everyone needs a nap. As long as they are in good health and get enough sleep at night, not taking a nap will generally not affect their health. However, nap is very necessary for those who are engaged in mental work, college, middle and primary school students, the frail and sick, or the elderly.
