Lu You in the Southern Song Dynasty was a great poet who knew how to maintain his health. He studied very hard and often came to & ldquo; Second, make more efforts & rdquo; Just rest. However, he had to sleep a little at noon, which played an important role in maintaining his vigorous energy. After noon, when the body’s Yin and Yang changes, it is easy to feel tired. In addition, after a morning’s concentrated work, the body needs a short rest and adjustment to recover energy and meet the work in the afternoon.
the appropriate time for lunch break is half an hour to one hour. If the time is too long, the more you sleep, the more you want to sleep. On the contrary, you feel more sleepy when you get up. You don’t have a clear mind. It’s difficult to sleep after you go to bed at night, which disrupts the normal rhythm of life. Why is it uncomfortable to sleep too much? According to modern research, a sleep cycle is 90 ~ 120 minutes, including about 30 minutes of deep sleep. The lunch break of more than half an hour generally has not entered deep sleep.

The lotus side is restrained but not opened, and the bamboo is still dripping with dew. It can be said that it is very fast. The days are long and leak forever. It is not like taking a nap for several minutes. It burns incense, hangs the curtain, and displays the peach Sheng (i.e. bamboo mat). It gets up after enough sleep. It is refreshing and refreshing. It is really like a real person in the sky& rdquo; The description of summer siesta is really a talk of health preservation experience.
