Why do I feel dizzy after lunch break

Nowadays, more and more people like to take naps. Having a good nap can make people more energetic to work in the afternoon and work efficiency will be greatly improved. Many people find a place to rest directly after eating and set an alarm to get up at a certain time. However, many people will feel dizzy after taking a lunch break, and at this time they will feel that the lunch break is not worth it. Let’s find out what causes dizziness after an afternoon nap~

1. Why do I feel dizzy after a nap?

It is better to wait for more than an hour. Or you can stand for 30 minutes after the meal, which is less likely to make you fat!

There are quite a few things to pay attention to when taking a nap, and only a reasonable nap method can achieve the best results.

1. Don’t rush to sleep after a meal

Misconception: Generally, people will feel refreshed after a nap, so they think that just sleeping at noon will achieve the desired effect.

Explanation: In fact, everyone knows that naps are important in summer, but the effectiveness of naps does not depend on people's feelings, but on how to sleep and how long to sleep. The easiest time for people to fall asleep is 8 hours after getting up in the morning, or 8 hours before going to bed at night, around 1 p.m. At this time, people's alertness is in a natural decline period, and the body will get a good rest. A healthy nap is most appropriate for 15 to 30 minutes, and no longer than 1 hour. If it is too short, you will not be able to rest well. If it is too long, you will have a slight headache and general weakness when you wake up, and it will not be easy to wake up at this time. It is better to extend it to 1 to 1.5 hours for a complete sleep cycle.

In addition to paying attention to bedtime, you should also pay attention to hygiene during naps. Don't eat too greasy food or eat too full before going to bed, because greasy food will increase blood viscosity and aggravate coronary artery disease, and overeating will increase the burden on stomach digestion. In addition, many people are accustomed to sleeping after lunch. At this time, the stomach has just been filled with food, a large amount of blood flows to the stomach, blood pressure drops, and the brain's oxygen and nutrition supply decreases significantly. Falling asleep immediately will cause insufficient blood supply to the brain. Therefore, it is best to exercise for about 10 minutes before taking a nap, such as taking a walk, to facilitate digestion of food.

1. Keep your nap time between 15 minutes and half an hour

The nap time should not be too long. The longer the better is not necessarily true. It is best not to exceed an hour. If the time is too short, the body and brain will not get enough rest; if the nap is too long, you will feel tired all over.

2. Don’t rush to sleep after a meal

Many people are accustomed to going to bed immediately after a meal. In fact, this is very incorrect, because after a meal the stomach is filled with food and the oxygen supply to the brain will decrease. If you take a nap right away, it can easily lead to insufficient blood supply to the brain. Therefore, it is best to exercise for ten minutes after a meal before taking a nap.

3. Don’t eat too greasy food before going to bed

Too greasy food will increase the viscosity of blood pressure in the body and also increase the digestive burden of the stomach and intestines.

4. Nap time

Experts suggest that the best time to take a nap is around 1 p.m. This is mainly because this period of time is when the body's alertness decreases, so sleeping can provide better rest.
