Always sleep on your stomach, okay?
Many office workers are used to sleeping at their desks. Occasionally, this has little impact on human health, but chronic gastritis will come in the long run. Because it takes the human body at least 1 hour to empty the food in the stomach after lunch, it will take a nap on the table just after the meal, and the stomach will be squeezed, which will increase the burden of peristalsis, easily cause flatulence, reduce digestion ability, affect nutrient absorption, delay gastric emptying, and destroy the gastric mucosal barrier, thus leading to gastritis.
Extended data:
First, the harm of long-term sleeping on your stomach
1, eyeball compression affects vision.
Neurologists say that sleeping on your arms will put pressure on your eyeballs, and when you wake up, you will have temporary blurred vision. In the long run, it will cause high intraocular pressure, easy to form high myopia and induce glaucoma and other diseases.
In addition, when sleeping on your back or stomach, the spine can't maintain normal posture, which will affect normal blood circulation and nerve conduction. Paralysis and even soreness may occur in arms, faces and other parts, which may evolve into local nerve paralysis or facial deformation for a long time.
Moreover, ophthalmologists believe that the disadvantage of prone sleeping position is that it may oppress the eyeball, and the eyes are prone to congestion, which leads to an increase in intraocular pressure, especially for people with high myopia.
2, affect digestion
Taking a nap on the table will also affect digestion. Most people eat a lot for lunch, and it takes about 3 hours to digest these foods. If you take a nap on your desk immediately after lunch, the digestive function of your stomach will be easily affected, causing flatulence.
3, aggravate cerebral ischemia
After falling asleep, the heart rate will gradually slow down, the speed of blood flowing through various tissues will be relatively slow, and the blood flowing into the brain will be less than usual. After lunch, more blood will enter the gastrointestinal tract to help digestion. Sleeping on your stomach will aggravate cerebral ischemia, which will eventually lead to dizziness, tinnitus and numbness in your legs.
Second, the office nap 15-30 minutes is the best.
Zhang reminded that the nap time should not be too long, so as not to affect the night sleep. The best nap time is about 15 to 30 minutes. If the time is too long, the human body will easily fall into a deep sleep, but when you wake up in the afternoon, your mind will be groggy, which will affect your work.
Of course, don't go to bed as soon as you are full. If you take a nap on the table immediately after lunch, it will affect the digestive function of the stomach and cause flatulence. You can take a walk before going to bed, or do some small standing exercises, which is helpful for the digestion of food.
Generally, the air conditioner in the office is fully open, so it is best to adjust the temperature of the air conditioner before taking a nap, and don't face the air outlet when sleeping to avoid the air conditioner blowing directly to the body. When people fall asleep, muscles relax, capillaries dilate and sweat pores are wide. If they don't keep warm properly, they are prone to catch cold or other diseases, so it is necessary to prepare a blanket to cover them.
