午睡偷閒養生法
香港打工仔一般午膳時間都是一小時,有人選擇吃個快飯後打機放鬆一下,亦有人選擇飯後小睡片刻休養生息。從中醫角度來看,睡「子午覺」的確是養生之道,子午覺時間為午時(上午十一時至下午一時),根據源自《黃帝內經》的「子午流注圖」,午時是正經十二經脈之中心經的當值時間,屬陰陽交替的時間,心主血脈和神志,如果此時能小睡一會,就能補充後半天的能量。
《黃帝內經》的養生主張是「子時大睡,午時小憩」,所以午睡時間不宜長,以20-30分鐘為宜,就不會影響晚上的睡眠質素。如果工作繁重未能午睡,閉目養神也不失為一個充電的方法。
睡子午覺要點:
– 時間不宜長,以20-30分鐘為宜
– 不宜伏案而睡,因為會壓著心臟,盡量平臥或側臥。
– 避免風口直吹的位置,睡時蓋上外套。
Sneak in an afternoon nap
Most working people in Hong Kong get a 1-hour lunch break. Some people choose to eat quickly and then relax by playing games, others choose to take a short nap after eating. From Chinese medicine perspective, it is beneficial to take a nap between 11am and 1pm. This is the time when the central meridian is on duty, when yin and yang transition. If you take a short nap in this time, you can replenish energy for the rest of the day.
Healthy living in “Huangdi Neijing” suggests going to sleep around 11pm-1am and taking a short nap around 11am-1pm. The nap should not be too long, 20-30 minutes would be enough or your night time sleep quality may be affected. If you are busy at work and cannot take a nap, try closing your eyes for a bit to recharge.
Notes for afternoon nap:
– it should not be too long, 20-30 minutes is enough
– try not to sleep on your desk as you are putting pressure on your heart, try laying flat or on your side
– avoid areas where the wind is blowing at you and wear a jacket to nap
