Napping is a very common phenomenon in modern society. Basically, schools and companies will give students or office workers almost two hours of lunch break after lunch. Even housewives who don't work at home like to take a nap. The problem of taking a nap has also been advocated, but the length of the nap has always been controversial. So, how long should I sleep?

First, the more sleep, the better.

Many people think that the longer the nap, the better. Actually, this statement is wrong. I did an experiment. I took a nap for about 2 hours on the first day, and I was full of energy after getting up. I woke up naturally after a nap the next day, but I felt particularly tired when I slept. Of course, all this is based on my normal rest last night. Because excessive sleep can put our brain in a lethargic state, sleeping too much can easily lead to headache or fatigue.

Second, if you can't sleep well the night before, you can sleep for a while after a nap.

It is standard for ordinary people to sleep for 8 hours every day. But now many young people like to stay up late to catch a play or play mobile phones, so they didn't sleep for 8 hours last night. At this time, we need to take a nap to help us catch up on sleep. If we stay up until 2 or 3 o'clock, then the next day's nap can be extended appropriately, so as to ensure that our sleep time is up to standard.

Third, the general nap time should be controlled within 2 hours.

In many schools and units, the lunch break of staff includes three hours of meal time. Usually, the sleep time we choose is 1 to two hours, which is also an internationally recognized nap time. Two hours is neither too long nor too short, which allows us to have a deep rest without feeling tired.
