Female White-Collar Workers Beware Of "Siesta Syndrome"

Experts believe that one of the major reasons for the siesta syndrome is that many office workers like to eat high sugar food at lunch, or indigestible high-fat food, such as French fries, hamburgers, fried chicken, etc. as lunch food, which are the culprits of the "siesta syndrome".

　 Choose fresh food

Avenance catering company, which conducted the survey, said that napping syndrome caused millions of money losses to British enterprises. At present, many companies provide fitness allowance to improve the health of employees. Avenance also suggests some other simple methods to help employees cope with the siesta syndrome, such as encouraging employees to take a break in the morning and mid afternoon, and eating healthy and balanced food at the same time.

Experts believe that skipping lunch or eating the wrong food can lead to siesta syndrome. Workers should try to choose fresh food such as fresh fish, chicken and vegetables, which will slowly release energy throughout the day.

On the other hand, because many enterprises and companies stress high productivity at present, some employees prefer to stay at their desks for quick lunch during lunch break in order to gain time to work, but experts believe that they should not stay at the desk for several hours in a row, and should get up and move to the company restaurant or nearby restaurant for lunch, Or occasionally go out to breathe fresh air, which will help to maintain physical and mental condition, so that you can cope with work all day long.

　 Do you take a nap? How to take a nap?

In fact, the past medical research generally believed that a nap in the afternoon would help improve attention and work efficiency, but attention must be paid to the time of the nap.

In the past, some sleep experts found that the human body tends to sleep in two stages, once at night; The other occurred in the afternoon, but to a lesser extent.

Experts believe that whether sleep at night is enough or not, the desire to take a nap during the day is a normal physiological demand of human beings. At present, some Latin American countries and European countries still maintain this habit. It is estimated that half of the world's population still lives in the habit of taking a nap. But the more industrialized the country is, the less acceptable the afternoon nap is.

Experts believe that 15 to 30 minutes is the most appropriate time for a healthy afternoon nap. If it exceeds 30 minutes, the body will enter a deep sleep period that is difficult to wake up. At this time, it needs to be extended to 1 to 1.5 hours, that is, to complete a complete sleep cycle. At the same time, taking a long nap will disturb the biological clock and affect normal sleep at night.

NASA scientists once found that a 24 minute nap can effectively improve the driver's attention and performance. If you sleep too long in the afternoon nap, you will have slight headache and general weakness in the first half hour, which is caused by "sleep inertia".

If your physiological reaction tends to take a short rest, why not let yourself take a rest instead of repressing your drowsiness so that you will be lethargic all afternoon.

If you want to maintain a long nap, it is only applicable to supplement the lack of sleep the night before last. Remember, a really healthy nap should not exceed 30 minutes. At the same time, you should develop the habit of taking a regular and quantitative nap every day.
