You can take a nap during weight loss.

Losing weight also requires a reasonable rest.

Napping is just a way for human body to protect biological rhythm. Lunch break is part of the natural sleep cycle and will not affect weight loss.

There are exquisite methods for taking a nap, as follows:

(1) Don't fall asleep immediately after a meal: your stomach is full of food right after lunch.

The digestive function is in motion. For example, taking a nap at this time will affect the digestion of the gastrointestinal tract, which is not conducive to the absorption of food, and it will cause stomach problems for a long time; At the same time, it also affects the quality of siesta. It is advisable to fall asleep half an hour after supper.

(2) Pay attention to sleeping position: It is generally believed that the correct sleeping position is better, because it can reduce the burden on the heart, increase the blood flow of the liver, and be beneficial to the digestion and metabolism of food. But in fact, because the nap time is short, you don't have to force yourself to lie to the left, to the right or to lie flat, as long as you can fall asleep quickly. Relax the belt, facilitate gastrointestinal peristalsis and help digestion. If you are sitting at your desk for a nap, it is best to put something soft and high under your arm, which can reduce the squeezing and make it easier to fall asleep.

(3) The time should not be too long, about 10-30 minutes. Studies have shown that people's sleep can be divided into two stages: shallow sleep and deep sleep, which are cyclical and alternating. After falling asleep for more than 30 minutes, most people go from shallow sleep to deep sleep. At this time, the inhibition process of the central nervous system of the brain deepens, many capillaries in the brain tissue are temporarily closed, the blood flowing through the brain tissue is relatively reduced, and the metabolic process in the body is gradually reduced. If you wake up at this time, you will feel uncomfortable and sleepy.
