What are the dangers of sleeping on the table

Nowadays, most office workers, especially during lunch break, choose to sleep on their desks to get enough rest. This is very bad. Sleeping on the desk for a long time will affect blood circulation. Some people will experience symptoms such as neck pain or numbness after sleeping on the desk for a long time. So what are the main hazards of sleeping on the desk? Next let’s take a closer look.

First, taking a nap while lying on the table will affect digestion. Many office workers lie down on the table and sleep after lunch. This is not okay. The human stomach needs a lot of blood to support food digestion right after a meal. If you lie down on the table and sleep, it will aggravate the ischemia of the brain and eventually lead to symptoms such as dizziness, tinnitus, weak legs and numbness of feet. So it’s better to sleep lying down.

Secondly, sleeping on your stomach also affects your breathing. When you sleep on your stomach, your body is bent, which makes chest breathing less smooth, especially for women. This will affect the oxygen supply and cause damage to the brain.

The third point is that because you sleep on your arms, many nerves are compressed, which often makes you feel anxious and restless during naps. Because the eyeballs are compressed when sleeping on your stomach, temporary blurred vision usually occurs after a nap. If this continues for a long time, it will cause high intraocular pressure and damage vision. Over time, it will cause the eyeball to swell and the eye axis to lengthen, resulting in high myopia. It will also easily increase the incidence of glaucoma. The harm is greater for people who already have mild myopia, nearsighted people or those who wear contact lenses.

Fourthly, sleeping on your stomach will put long-term pressure on your arms and face, which will affect normal blood circulation and nerve conduction, causing numbness or even soreness in your arms and face. If not paid attention to, it may develop into local nerve paralysis or facial deformation over time.

Fifth, sleeping on your stomach can also cause various problems, such as being bad for the eyes, arm numbness and other minor problems, but these minor problems will always evolve into other problems, so you still need to pay more attention to these small problems in life in order to have a good body.

Through the above detailed introduction to the five main hazards of sleeping on the desk, it is a very bad habit for office workers who have the habit of sleeping on the desk at noon. It is recommended that if conditions permit, you can buy some folding beds for lunch break, which can not only allow you to have a good sleep and rest your spirit, but also will not affect the blood circulation in the neck and other parts.
