Summer is an easy "injury" festival. For many office workers, under the influence of temperature, even if they get enough sleep at night, they will still feel depressed and sleepy during the day. Experts say that if we insist on taking a regular nap at noon every day, it will help people clear their heads, restore their spirits and be beneficial to health.

Why is it easy to get sleepy at noon in summer? Experts say taking a nap is a good habit to keep healthy. The temperature is high at noon in summer. In the process of cooling and sweating, the skin capillaries dilate, the blood distribution in the body is unbalanced, a large amount of blood stays in the periphery, and the blood supply to the brain is relatively insufficient, which will make people feel listless and sleepy. Taking a nap for a while can improve the "spirit" in a short time, thus reducing all kinds of mental stress and reducing the chance of getting sick.
Due to the limited space, many white-collar workers sleep at their desks in the office. Experts say that improper sleeping posture and the loss of sleeping time will greatly reduce the quality of siesta, and taking a nap at a desk has many disadvantages, and even has adverse effects on the body. It is best not to sleep.

For example, if you lean your head on your arm for a long time, it will block the blood circulation of your arm, affect nerve conduction, and be prone to symptoms such as numbness and soreness in your arm. Sleeping on your stomach will also oppress the eyeball, causing high intraocular pressure, and temporary blurred vision will appear after waking up, which will lead to eye deformation and even glaucoma in the long run; Moreover, the air conditioning temperature in the office is low, and taking a nap at the desk leads to improper body warmth, and maybe a cold will follow after waking up; More importantly, taking a nap at your desk can not only make your body completely relaxed, but also make your body and skin tense because of uncomfortable sleeping position, and you will be more tired after a nap.
Four tricks to teach you a scientific nap
How should white-collar workers take a nap? When to sleep, what position to sleep, and what should you pay attention to when sleeping? Take a quick look at the following nap points to make a nap healthy.
1, required for inflatable neck pillow
The correct sleeping position for a nap is based on the principle of not oppressing the internal organs, which is conducive to rest. Sleeping at the desk is directly rejected.

If conditions do not permit, they can prepare an inflatable neck pillow for travel, put it around their necks during a nap, and then find a chair with a backrest to sit and enjoy a nap.

There should be a buffer time after waking up.
Generally, after a nap, people will feel a little trance when they wake up. Don't rush to work at this time, especially complicated or dangerous work. It's best to drink a glass of water first and then go to work when you wake up.
