2.If you're feeling a little sleepy at your desk you may want to send this article to your boss.According to the experts,many Brits will have to work today suffering from low levels of sleep thanks to losing that extra hour through British Summer Time.Experts are urging bosses to let their employees have a nap (小睡) to make up for sleep lost due to the clocks changing.
Dr Nerina Ramlakhan,who specializes in sleep therapy,said that although the clocks going forward signals the start of a long-awaited summer,it can damage the sleep patterns of people who are already struggling to get a good night's sleep.If you are one of the 25% of Brits that gets less than five hours sleep a night,this time change could see you drop down to as little as four hours,which is a dangerously low amount.So bosses should consider allowing their staff to take a short nap in the office to make up for lost time.
Company bosses may object to the idea,but Dr Nerina argued that certain napping time may make for a stronger workforce.She said,"Just a 20-minute power nap can make a huge difference.Naps have been scientifically proven to increase creativity and problem solving ability,and they can even rebalance the immune system (免疫系统),meaning staff are less likely to take sick days."According to Dr Nerina the best time take a power nap at work is between 2pm and 4pm,as any later in the day may affect sleep at night.
Bosses of the UK,take note.
