Foreigners rarely take lunch. If they are seen by their colleagues on the desk and have a morning break, they will think they are sick or have been overnight last night. If they see it for the leader, they will still feel that they are lazy. Therefore, foreigners do not understand this behavior very much.
In China, after 12 noon, there are no people on the streets, and the offices are quiet. Some people will even pull up curtains and cover blankets, and everyone is taking lunch breaks. Workers working outdoors will also find a bench or a bridge hole, lay a few newspapers, and sleep well for a while. Everyone doesn’t find it strange at all after reading it, and they will also feel it is normal. Especially for students, if they don’t sleep at noon, parents and teachers should have a good education. What should I do if I doze off in the afternoon?
Why do Chinese people like naps? From three aspects,
As soon as you finish eating, becomes sleepy . You have to rest for a while
After eating, you are lazy and don’t want to work and study, so you want to lie down and sit for a while, with your eyelids together. If you have a pillow in front of your eyes, you can fall asleep after falling down. This is because the body's gallbladder contraction hormone, orexin, insulin is causing trouble.
When you eat full, your appetite will decrease. The degree of orexin and awakening are the opposite. The lower the appetite, the more likely people to feel sleepy. Then bile secretes out and decomposes fat. The pancreas islets begin to be responsible for blood sugar. Under the action of the three hormones, the human body is prone to fatigue. In addition, some people eat greasy lunches, and the staple food is rice and flour, and they are prone to eating too much, so they will naturally become a "extremely sleepy" and need to take a nap to slow down.
Lunch break is a traditional health care method

Nap has been around since ancient China, and at that time people regarded nap as a way of health preservation. Taking a nap properly can replenish the yang energy in the body, especially in autumn and winter. The yang energy gradually decreases, and the human body is prone to illness. Only with enough yang energy is not prone to illness. Therefore, taking a nap can help people prevent diseases and maintain their health.
Nap is more in line with the modern living environment.
Office workers go to work at eight or nine o'clock every day, work until eight or nine o'clock in the evening. They often only have one or two hours of rest time at noon. If you want to face the high-intensity work in the afternoon, you must take a while at noon. Students work harder. They start morning reading at around 6 o'clock in the morning and get out of class ends at around 10 o'clock in the evening. More than ten classes a day are very exhausting, so they also need lunch break.
In addition, the body will be sleepy and exhausted in the spring and autumn seasons. Only by adapting to adjust your lifestyle can you better adapt to the surrounding environment.
So, Chinese people are not lazy, but to better adapt to the environment and cultivate their body and mind. In addition, not all European and American countries do not take naps, such as Spanish , and they also like lunch breaks very much.
So, is it good or bad for the body to insist on taking a nap?

Only those who have slept can appreciate the benefits of napping. The body is very tired, the brain rotates slowly, and the eyebrows are very painful. When encountering problems that cannot be understood, you will be irritable. After a while, you will get up again. The mood will be much relaxed . You are not so impetuous when you look at the problem. At this time, I will study and work again, and my memory of has improved significantly.
Academician Zhong Nanshan once said in an interview that he would take a lunch break every day, especially in the heat, sleeping for a while is more energetic, just like cheering his body. If you are a person who is prone to fatigue, irritability and has a poor memory, you might as well give it a try.
Anti-couple
Study found that people who take a long nap have a 40% increase in the risk of dementia, and it also increases the incidence of hypertension and stroke .
Especially for the elderly, they do not sleep well at night and will get some sleep during the day. Sometimes they will get up after sleeping for two or three hours. After waking up, chest tightness headaches and joints are still stiff. It is better not to say it.
Besides, it is difficult for those who have insomnia to fall asleep. If they take a nap every day, they may have to open their eyes until dawn at night.
Everyone has their own opinions on naps. The main contradictions are concentrated on "population" and "duration" . In fact, there are no rigid regulations on naps. You can or don't sleep. If you are more sleepy during the day and have a bad sleep at night, it is best not to take a nap to prevent the day and night from being reversed. If you have heavy work and study, and you will be tired if you don’t sleep, then sleep for a while, and is about thirty minutes. is enough.
What can people who don’t like naps?
Let’s go outdoors for a walk, bask in the sun . Stay indoors for a long time every day and will protect yourself from the sun when you go out. You don’t have much time to bask in the sun. You can use the time at noon to dry for half an hour to help improve the yang temperature and warm the limbs, which are good for bones, heart, and respiratory tract.
can also do stretching exercises on the ground . Due to work reasons, most of them are sitting and standing. The legs and waist are often sore, and the neck is also very stiff. You can do Xiaofeiyan , cat-style , hip bridge and other movements, or do anal lifting exercises to protect the intestines and prostate.
Use the lunch time Drinking tea, listening to music, reading is also good. There are many nutrients in tea, which refreshes the mind and is not easy to get sleepy. It can also relieve greasy, reduces the fiery in the body, and is also beneficial to the eyes and lungs. Of course, if the tea is a little bitter, you can also drink some coffee and yogurt.
In short, whether you want to take a nap varies from person to person. As long as you don’t feel tired, but be careful not to disturb others. No matter what method it is, it is for health. Just like a mobile phone and a computer, you have to rest your joints after using it for a long time. Then when it is turned on next time, it will run smoother.
