Taking a nap is frowned upon by many people and is viewed as fondness for the elderly and children. Mention nap and you could be seen as lazy, depressed and unwilling to work. However, taking a nap is one of the best but most underused tools for busy people to ease weariness. The majority of people experience drowsiness in the afternoon and notice their work efficiency and mood starting to slip and taking a nap will help, combat this.
The results of research suggest that taking a nap can make you more alert, reduce stress and improve cognitive function compared to those who working all day without rest. A mid-afternoon nap means that productivity can last long into the night. Researchers at NASA found that a 30-minute full nap increased cognitive function by 40%. The volunteers on the tests found that their memory improved as well as experiencing an increase in concentration. Those who didn’t nap would score lower on IQ test than those who did (after a day of work).
If you feel tired in the afternoon and from then on can’t perform at your best, I recommend taking a short power nap to get yourself feel alert and ready for work. You will notice your mood and alertness to be improved. I advise keeping the nap between 15 and 30 minutes if you want to avoid getting into deeper stages of sleep. If you do, you’ll find it harder to wake and may experience the unstable feeling for a while.
For those who are worried about the after-affect of a nap, there is the caffeine nap. A caffeine nap is taken after an intake of caffeine, so that you are asleep while your body digests the caffeine. After a 15 -30 minutes nap, you wake up and have the caffeine in your system. This is great if you need to be instantly on the move after a nap, and you can bounce out of your sleeping state and jump into refreshed work feeling.
Finding 15-30 minutes to take a nap in a day sometimes seems difficult, but doing so is very helpful to your productivity. Even 10 minutes of a nap every day will be better than nothing at all, and may give you the energy you need to be successful. If you’re willing to have a try, make sure you can find a comfortable place before setting your head down. If you can feel secure and let go, then your rest will be even more beneficial.
What can be inferred from the first paragraph?
选项
A、Taking a nap is useless for busy people.
B、Taking a nap is viewed as something for curing disease.
C、Taking a nap is regarded as lazy to work.
D、Taking a nap can promote your work efficiency.
答案
D
解析
根据第一段第三句“However,taking a nap is one of the best most underused tools for busy people to ease weariness.”可知,小睡对于上班族来说是缓解疲劳的最佳方法之一,A项与文意不符。B项意为小睡被视为可以治疗疾病,文中只涉及小睡可以缓解疲劳,并没有提及治病的含义,故排除。根据该段第二句“Mention nap and you could be seen as lazy,depressed and unwilling to work”可知,提到小睡,你可能会被视为懒惰,懈怠以及不愿意工作,但这是原文的本意,并不是推断出来的,故不选C项;根据第一段最后一句话“小睡可以缓解疲劳提高工作效率,调整心情”可知D项符合文意,故正确答案为D选项。
