What are the benefits of taking a nap for office workers?
1, pressure, release
Life under high pressure makes people breathless. Taking a nap is the best way to relieve tension and stress. Finding a quiet and comfortable place to lie down for a while can help people maintain peace of mind, effectively suppress emotional fluctuations and cell aging caused by stress, and relieve nervous tension after waking up.
2, the efficiency is doubled
Not only modern people have the habit of taking a nap, but also celebrities in ancient and modern times are keen on taking a nap. British Prime Minister Winston Churchill attributed his victory to a nap, and Leonardo da Vinci's artistic attainments were also attributed to his mental recovery from a nap. Among them, the research shows that the work efficiency of people who are too tired can be doubled after taking a nap, which is 13% higher than the original.
3. Memory enhancement
Many studies have systematically studied siesta and found that people who take siesta become more agile and accurate in test response. Taking a nap can not only eliminate fatigue, but also improve memory and prevent brain fatigue. A good sleep, quick reading is not difficult!
4. Creativity and acumen
After working for a long time, people can easily walk into a dead end, and they can't think of a reason for the same problem. But taking a nap helps the nervous system rest and the brain function returns to normal. So in a short time, you can fully open your mind and get out of the work deadlock quickly.
None of these three siesta postures is desirable:
1, sleep on your side
There are many postures for taking a nap, and everyone has their own psychological planning. For example, some people try to avoid dislocation of small joints. In addition to sleeping at a desk, it is also common to lean on a chair or table and sleep with your hands as a pillow. Experts say that this sleeping position is also unreliable. It is really comfortable to lean on the soft arm on one side of the body, but this sleeping position will distort the cervical vertebra, which is very convenient to form the dislocation of the local facet joints of the cervical vertebra. Not recommended for everyone? .
Step 2 sleep on your desk
The workplace is not only a desk, but also a chair, so many people will choose to sleep on the desk, which is harmful to the cervical spine. It is the habit of many people to sleep on their desks after working all morning. Experts say that sleeping at a desk is very harmful to the cervical spine. Sleeping on my desk, my neck is bent, and I can't relax the muscles of my cervical spine and neck. If you take a nap in this position for a long time, is it convenient to have dizziness and other symptoms? .
Step 3 sleep in a chair
In order to make yourself comfortable, it is not appropriate to choose the method of sleeping in a patchwork chair, because this nap posture is likely to lead to lumbar disc herniation. If you can't sleep well on your stomach, just sleep on your stomach all the time. In order to sleep comfortably, some white-collar workers often occupy the conference room, piece together some chairs and lie on them to sleep. Experts say that this sleeping position seems comfortable, but it is actually the root cause of lumbar disc herniation. When the chairs are put together, the space must be small and uneven. Lying on the upper face is very harmful to the spine, and it is also convenient for the spine to catch cold and cause lumbar disc herniation. .
How do office workers take a lunch break?
1, can't sleep, don't be forced, closing your eyes is also a rest.
If you are not very sleepy, it is suggested that you can close your eyes during lunch break, then concentrate on breathing and slow down your breathing frequency. Even if we only lie down for twenty minutes and don't fall asleep at all, you will regain your strength as if you had slept.
2, the bed has no couch, and you can't lie down with a neck pillow.
According to your own needs, buy yourself a neck pillow, which can make you sleep better during lunch break. Although more and more enterprises pay attention to the problem of employees' lunch break, more units do not have the conditions to set up lunch break. At this time, we can consider buying a lounge chair, stretching it during a nap and putting it away when not in use, so that it won't take up too much space. If you can't even use the recliner, try to avoid sleeping on your stomach during your lunch break. It is recommended to buy a neck pillow. When you need a lunch break, put on your neck pillow and rest on the wall and other supports for a while.
3, time is tight, 10 minutes is enough.
Don't care too much about the length of lunch break. Actually, a short rest is enough. Six minutes' sleep can improve memory, because such a few minutes are enough for the brain to turn short-term memory into long-term memory and release more? Space? Dress yourself with new knowledge. Although the nap time is compressed to 10~ 15 minutes, it still retains many health benefits, and this short nap is more convenient for people to wake up quickly and get into work in time.
Office workers should take off their contact lenses during their siesta.
Some white-collar workers who love beauty will wear contact lenses to work, but if they want to take a nap, they'd better take them off. Otherwise, when you wake up from a nap, you will feel inexplicable tears in your eyes and blurred vision. Because when people close their eyes, oxygen will pass through blood vessels, but contact lenses will be isolated like this. Eyes? Poor breathing? Cell defect, a little carelessness, is easy to cause infection, leading to dry eye, corneal ulcer and so on.
5, office workers should pay attention to keep warm when taking a nap.
Don't think that a short nap time can ignore the steps of keeping warm during the nap. After falling asleep, people's muscles relax, capillaries dilate, sweat pores are thick, and improper warmth is easy to catch a cold or other diseases. So when you take a nap in the office, you should pay attention to avoid the cold. In addition to avoiding sleeping in places where air conditioners and electric fans blow directly on your body, you should also prepare a small blanket to ensure warmth during sleep.
