zài在zhōng guó中国,wǔ shuì午睡shì是yī zhǒng一种fēi cháng非常pǔ biàn普遍de的xí guàn习惯。

In China, taking a nap after lunch is a very common habit.

cóng从xué xiào学校de的xué shēng学生dào到gōng sī公司de的yuán gōng员工,hěn很duō多rén人wǔ fàn午饭hòu后dōu都xǐ huān喜欢xiū xī休息bàn xiǎo shí半小时dào到yī xiǎo shí一小时。

From students at school to office workers, many people like to rest for half an hour to an hour after lunch.

dà jiā大家cháng常shuō说“wǔ jiào午觉shuì睡dé得hǎo好,xià wǔ下午jīng shén精神hǎo好”。

People often say, “If you sleep well at noon, you will feel energetic in the afternoon.”

dàn shì但是,zuì jìn最近wǎng shàng网上de的yī tiáo一条xiāo xī消息ràng让bù shǎo不少rén人gǎn dào感到dān xīn担心。

However, a recent piece of news on the internet has made many people worried.

xiāo xī消息shuō说:“wǔ shuì午睡shí jiān时间rú guǒ如果chāo guò超过yī xiǎo shí一小时,sǐ wáng死亡fēng xiǎn风险huì会zēng jiā增加bǎi fēn zhī sān shí百分之三十。”

The news said, “If a nap lasts more than one hour, the risk of death increases by 30%.”

zhè ge这个shuō fǎ说法shì是zhēn de真的ma吗?

Is this true?

zhuān jiā专家biǎo shì表示,dà jiā大家bù yòng不用guò dù jǐn zhāng过度紧张。

Experts say that there is no need to worry too much.

zhè ge这个yán jiū研究shù jù数据zhǔ yào主要zhēn duì针对de的shì是nà xiē那些cháng qī长期、měi tiān每天dōu都shuì睡hěn很jiǔ久de的rén人。

The study data mainly focused on people who have long naps every day over a long period of time.

rú guǒ如果nǐ你zhǐ shì只是ǒu ěr偶尔yīn wèi因为tài太lèi累duō多shuì睡le了yī huì er一会儿,duì对shēn tǐ身体bìng并bú huì不会yǒu有tài太dà大de的shāng hài伤害。

If you only sleep a little longer once in a while because you are very tired, it will not cause much harm to your body.

nà me那么,wèi shén me为什么bù不jiàn yì建议wǔ shuì午睡tài太jiǔ久ne呢?

So why is it not recommended to nap for too long?

zhuān jiā专家jiě shì解释shuō说,rú guǒ如果wǔ shuì午睡chāo guò超过yí gè xiǎo shí一个小时,rén人róng yì容易jìn rù进入shēn dù深度shuì mián睡眠。

Experts explain that if a nap lasts more than one hour, people can easily enter deep sleep.

zhè shí hòu这时候tū rán突然xǐng lái醒来,xīn tiào心跳huì会jiā kuài加快,xuè yā血压yě也huì会tū rán突然shēng gāo升高,zhè这huì会gěi给xīn zàng心脏dài lái带来yā lì压力。

If you suddenly wake up at that time, your heartbeat will speed up and your blood pressure will rise suddenly, which puts pressure on the heart.

lìng wài另外,rú guǒ如果bái tiān白天shuì睡dé得tài太duō多,wǎn shàng晚上jiù就huì会shī mián失眠,zhè yàng这样fǎn ér反而huì会ràng让shēn tǐ身体gèng更pí láo疲劳。

Also, if you sleep too much during the day, you may have insomnia at night, which will actually make your body even more tired.

wèi le为了jiàn kāng健康,zhuān jiā专家gěi chū给出le了jǐ gè几个guān yú关于wǔ shuì午睡de的xiǎo小jiàn yì建议。

For health, experts have given several small suggestions about napping.

shǒu xiān首先,yào要kòng zhì控制hǎo好shí jiān时间。

First, control the length of your nap.

rú guǒ如果nǐ你wǎn shàng晚上shuì mián睡眠hěn很chōng zú充足,zhōng wǔ中午zhǐ只xū yào需要shuì睡15dào到20fēn zhōng分钟,dà nǎo大脑jiù就néng能dé dào得到hěn很hǎo好de的xiū xī休息。

If you sleep well at night, you only need to sleep for 15 to 20 minutes at noon, and your brain can get a good rest.

rú guǒ如果nǐ你wǎn shàng晚上méi没shuì睡gòu够,zhōng wǔ中午kě yǐ可以shāo wēi稍微duō多shuì睡yī huì er一会儿,dàn但zuì hǎo最好yě也bú yào不要chāo guò超过45 fēn zhōng45分钟。

If you did not sleep enough at night, you can sleep a little longer at noon, but it is still best not to exceed 45 minutes.

duì yú对于yǒu有gāo xuè yā高血压huò zhě或者táng niào bìng糖尿病de的lǎo nián rén老年人,wǔ shuì午睡shí jiān时间zuì hǎo最好kòng zhì控制zài在20 fēn zhōng20分钟yǐ nèi以内。

For older adults with high blood pressure or diabetes, it is best to keep naps within 20 minutes.

qí cì其次,wǔ shuì午睡de的zī shì姿势yě也hěn很zhòng yào重要。

Second, the way you nap is also important.

hěn很duō多shàng bān zú上班族xǐ huān喜欢pā趴zài在zhuō zi桌子shàng上shuì睡,dàn但zhè yàng这样huì会yā pò压迫yǎn jīng眼睛hé和shǒu bì手臂,xǐng lái醒来hòu后huì会jué de觉得hěn很bù shū fú不舒服。

Many office workers like to sleep with their face on the desk, but this can press on the eyes and arms, and they may feel very uncomfortable after waking up.

rú guǒ如果kě yǐ可以de的huà话,tǎng躺zhe着shuì睡shì是zuì hǎo最好de的。

If possible, lying down to sleep is best.

zuì hòu最后,zhuān jiā专家tí xǐng提醒dà jiā大家,chī wán吃完wǔ fàn午饭hòu后bú yào不要mǎ shàng马上shuì jiào睡觉,kě yǐ可以xiān先sàn sàn bù散散步。

Finally, experts remind everyone not to go to sleep right after lunch; you can take a short walk first.

wǔ shuì午睡xǐng lái醒来hòu后,yě也bú yào不要lì kè立刻zhàn qǐ lái站起来,xiān先zài在zuò wèi座位shàng上zuò坐yì fēn zhōng一分钟,ràng让shēn tǐ身体màn màn慢慢huī fù恢复jīng shén精神。

After waking up from a nap, do not stand up immediately either. Sit in your seat for one minute first and let your body slowly regain energy.

zǒng zhī总之,wǔ shuì午睡suī rán虽然shì是hǎo shì好事,dàn但shí jiān时间bú shì不是yuè zhǎng yuè hǎo越长越好。

In short, although napping is a good thing, longer is not always better.

kē xué科学、duǎn shí jiān短时间de的wǔ shuì午睡,cái néng才能ràng让wǒ men我们jì yǒu既有jīng shén精神,yòu又yōng yǒu拥有jiàn kāng健康de的shēn tǐ身体。

Only scientific, short naps can help us stay energetic and healthy at the same time.
