Are you sometimes a little tired and sleepy in the early afternoon? Many people feel this way after lunch. I have a habit of taking a nap (小睡) after lunch. Without a nap at noon, I will feel uncomfortable the whole afternoon. A nap after lunch can make me feel fresh and comfortable. Then I can work better in the afternoon.

At noon – about six to eight hours after you wake up – your body temperature goes down. This is what makes you slow down and feel sleepy. So it is best for you to take a nap after lunch for about an hour.

In many parts of the world, people take naps in the middle of the day, especially in hot weather, where the heat makes work difficult in the early afternoon. In fact, naps are good for everyone in any weather. A daily nap gives one a more relaxing body and mind in the early afternoon, and is good for health. In many countries where naps are traditional, people are seldom ill such as heart diseases.

Many working people have no time to take naps though doctors may advise taking naps in the early afternoon. Here are a few tips about your nap:

Remember that the best time to take a nap is about eight hours after you get up. A short sleep too late in the day may only make you feel more tired and sleepy later. This can also happen if you sleep for too long. If you don’t have enough time, try a short nap after lunch — half an hour of nap can also be helpful.
