What are the disadvantages of taking a nap

In the morning, many people have the habit of doing morning exercises. As the saying goes, a year's plan begins in spring, and a day's plan begins in the morning. Exercising in the morning is very helpful for your physical health. However, many people will take a nap after exercising, which is very bad for your physical health. Well, let me explain to you what are the disadvantages of taking a nap?

Taking a nap will inevitably disrupt your regular sleep schedule and disrupt the brain's biological clock, resulting in "poor sleep during the day and inability to fall asleep at night." Taking a nap can cause slow reaction, poor memory and susceptibility to illness. Facts show that some people can maintain a good spirit and mood during the day after taking a nap, and they will not feel obviously sleepy. An old doctor once wrote an article - Taking a nap helped me overcome insomnia. He said: More than 10 years ago, he accidentally discovered a very effective method to treat insomnia: whenever he woke up in the early morning and couldn't fall asleep again, he would simply get up and do some work, or read a book or newspaper. After two or three hours of activity, when he was really sleepy, he would go back to bed and fall asleep soon.

How to treat poor sleep

1. Timely exercise helps with sleep. Exercise helps keep your body healthy and in good shape. Taking a little time each day to exercise, preferably around 4 or 5 p.m., will help you get a good night's sleep. At the same time, it also helps relieve fatigue and increase excitement.

2. Stick to a regular schedule. I believe everyone knows that at different times of the night, through sleep, different parts of the human body will undergo major rest and adjustment. So it’s best to go to bed before 11 o’clock at night. It is not advisable to get up late in the morning, especially staying in bed without falling asleep, which will actually make people more tired. If conditions permit, you can take a nap at noon, but the time should be controlled to about 1 hour, and it is best not to sleep after 3 pm. A regular schedule is not only good for sleep, but also can improve your concentration and work efficiency. Even for busy professionals, it is not impossible to stick to a regular schedule; it just depends on whether you are willing to do so.

3. Relax one hour before going to bed. Are you still engaging in intense brain activities until you go to bed? That will make you unable to stop, making it increasingly difficult to fall asleep, and it will easily cause you to have dreams. So try to put aside your chaotic thoughts and relax your brain one hour before going to bed. It is best to soak your feet or take a bath in hot water, which will relax your whole body and help you sleep better. 4. Good environment and good sleep. If possible, take good care of your bed. A comfortable bed and comfortable sleep, isn’t this the best place in the home? There is no harm in tidying up your bedroom. It would be really wonderful to lie on the bed and smell a strange odor one day. When sleeping, it is best to keep the light very dim, and it is best to be dark at night. If you are used to sleeping with the lights on, that is a different matter. At the same time maintain a quiet environment.

5. Avoid caffeine, nicotine, and alcoholic beverages. Do not drink coffee, smoke or drink before going to bed, because these substances can excite the brain, which is a big obstacle to sleep. Also, do not eat chocolate, soda, etc., which will also hinder sleep. Also, don't eat a large meal before going to bed.

6. Good sleeping posture. Is sleeping posture important? Don’t ask, it’s obvious. You can sleep on your back or on your right side. The left side is prone to compressing the heart, so try to avoid it. In addition, bad sleeping postures, such as the habit of clasping your hands in front of your chest or pressing your hands under your body, can easily cause you to have dreams or compress your blood vessels, so please also pay attention to this.

Taking a nap often makes you feel listless and lack the energy to do your daily work or study. Therefore, friends who do morning exercises should not take a nap. In order to promote normal sleep, I hope everyone can adjust their work and rest time, maintain a good attitude, and exercise properly.
