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.
Which one is not the benefit of taking a nap?
选项
A、decrease stress and improve cognitive function
B、keep the best state of mind and energy
C、feel refresh and alert
D、feel unstable and depressed
答案
D
解析
根据第二段第一句话“The results of research suggest that taking a nap can make you more alert.reduce stress and improve cognitive function compared to working all day without rest.”,可得出结论小睡能让人保持清醒,减少压力,提升认知功能,第三段中第一句话。“If you feel tired in the afternoon and from then on don’t perform at your best,I recommend taking a short power nap to get yourself feeling alert and ready for work.”可以归结出打个盹可以让自己保持最佳状态和精力充沛并为工作做好准备。由后面三句可得出小睡可以提高人的敏锐度和改善精神状态,而当人处在睡意中没有小睡或是睡得太沉,就会导致情绪低落沮丧或大脑昏昏沉沉的.因此D项不是小睡的益处,故正确答案为D选项。
