How long can I sleep after a meal?

I believe that for many friends, the happiest thing in a day is sleeping. Because only during sleep can people feel absolute relaxation, and it can also promote better detoxification of various functions of the body, which is absolutely beneficial for restoring mental and physical strength. So how much time can you sleep after a meal? In response to this question raised by everyone, let me discuss it with you in the following time.

It is better to rest for 20 minutes after lunch and then take a nap.

The traditional nap after meals makes many people feel dizzy, weak limbs, soreness and other discomforts after taking a nap. This is because there is a relatively constant indicator in the human blood. When a person eats, blood flow will tilt towards the digestive system, causing a relatively reduced amount of blood supplied to the brain and limbs. As a result, the brain and limbs do not get enough oxygen and nutrients, and metabolic waste cannot be eliminated in time, causing a series of discomfort symptoms. In terms of physiological hygiene, the rest before lunch is positive, while the rest after lunch is negative.

The new lunch body method is: after get off work or school at noon, eat some fruit or milk, then take a half-hour nap, and then get up for lunch. Studies have shown that taking a half-hour break before lunch can more effectively eliminate fatigue than sleeping for two hours after lunch, and can greatly improve work and study efficiency in the afternoon.

Don't go to bed immediately after a meal. Taking a nap right after a meal may cause food reflux and gastric juice to irritate the esophagus. In mild cases, it may make people feel uncomfortable, and in severe cases, it may cause reflux esophagitis. Therefore, it is best to rest for about 20 minutes after lunch before going to sleep.

1. Recent studies have shown that people have two natural sleep "peaks" in a day and night. The main "peak" is at around 2:00 a.m., and the "secondary peak" is around 2:00 p.m., which shows that naps are in line with sleep patterns.

2. Human sleep can be divided into slow-wave sleep and rapid-wave sleep. Among them, the deep slow-wave sleep is most beneficial to health. The deep slow-wave sleep of naps is richer and can make up for the lack of sleep at night.

Nap time:

Generally speaking, children require a longer sleep time, and their nap time can be appropriately longer. It is advisable for teenagers and adults to take a nap for no more than 1 hour to avoid dizziness after sleeping. "Office workers" can sleep shorter hours and choose sleeping positions according to the environment. They don't necessarily have to take a nap in bed. Elderly people have less deep slow-wave sleep at night, so they should increase their nap time appropriately to make up for it.

The above paragraphs give us a good introduction to how much time we can sleep after a meal. I sincerely hope that my friends can study the above content carefully, so that they can have a deeper understanding and more experience about this question. Of course, I also want to tell you that we should not do strenuous exercise right after we have just finished a meal, because we need to give our stomachs more time to digest food.
