How long is the best nap at noon?

Nowadays, many people have the habit of taking naps, especially those who go to bed late at night and get up early in the morning. They feel refreshed after a nap at noon, but sometimes I don’t know why, but after taking a nap at noon, I feel tired all over, as if I didn’t get enough rest, and my head is also dizzy. This is because the nap time is too long. Let’s talk about how long is the best nap at noon.

Pay attention to bedtime. Most people think that just taking a nap at noon will achieve the desired effect. However, experts have analyzed that 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, which is around 1 o'clock in the afternoon. Because people's alertness is naturally declining at this time, taking a nap will help the body get a good rest.

Pay attention to hygiene during nap. 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.

A nap should not be too long. 15 to 30 minutes is the most appropriate length for a healthy nap, and the longest time should not exceed 1 hour. If the time is too short, you will not be able to get a rest; if the time is too long, you will feel a slight headache and general weakness after waking up, and it will not be easy to wake up.

Don't sleep on your stomach during your nap. It is understood that most people do not pay attention to their nap posture. Some lie on their stomachs, while others simply sleep on the table. In fact, sleeping at a desk will reduce blood supply to the head, causing a series of symptoms of brain ischemia and hypoxia, such as dizziness, blurred vision, and fatigue after waking up.

Above we all understand the key points of naps. It is important to sleep how long and how to sleep, and also pay attention to the resting posture. Don't blindly think that the longer you sleep, the better. As long as you sleep correctly, half an hour is the best. Also, try not to use your hands as a pillow in the office during naps, as this will put pressure on your chest and make you feel very tired.
