What are the benefits and precautions of lunch break for primary school students

Many children's habits are disrupted when they start school, but everything revolves around daily studies, such as taking a nap in kindergarten. However, after entering elementary school, the habit of taking a nap will be cancelled, and a lunch break will be taken. However, the school does not attach importance to the lunch break. Many children will use the lunch break time to play, and when they go to class in the afternoon, they are in poor spirits and their studies are very unfocused. Therefore, we must emphasize the lunch break. Then what are the benefits and precautions of the lunch break for elementary school students?

Busy work and tight pace often make people unable to cope with the demands, so naps have become an important guarantee for many people's work day. Experts believe that taking a nap can not only enhance physical strength, eliminate fatigue, and improve work efficiency in the afternoon, but also enhance the body's protective function. However, there are many things to pay attention to when taking a nap, and only a reasonable nap method can achieve the best results. For those who engage in mental work and college, middle school and primary school students, a lunch break is very necessary. Therefore, we encourage primary school students to develop a good habit of taking a nap.

First, don’t rush to take a nap after a meal. Many people are accustomed to sleeping after lunch. At this time, the stomach has just been filled with food, a large amount of blood flows to the stomach, blood pressure drops, and the brain's oxygen and nutrition supply decreases significantly. Falling asleep immediately will cause insufficient blood supply to the brain. Therefore, it is best to exercise for 10 minutes before taking a nap to facilitate food digestion.

The second is to pay attention to the time of falling asleep. Most people think that just taking a nap at noon will achieve the desired effect. However, experts have analyzed that the easiest time for people to fall asleep is 8 hours after getting up in the morning or 8 hours before going to bed at night, which is around 1 o'clock in the afternoon. Because people's alertness is naturally declining at this time, taking a nap will help the body get a good rest.

Third, pay attention to hygiene during nap. Don't eat too greasy food or eat too full before going to bed, because greasy food will increase blood viscosity and aggravate coronary artery disease, and overeating will increase the burden on stomach digestion. In addition, you can drink a glass of water after waking up to replenish blood volume and dilute blood viscosity, and then you can do some light activities such as walking.

Fourth, the nap should not be too long. Experts believe that a healthy nap is most appropriate for 15 to 30 minutes, and should not exceed 1 hour. If the time is too short, you will not be able to get a rest; if the time is too long, you will feel a slight headache and general weakness after waking up, and it will not be easy to wake up.

Fifth, don’t sleep on your stomach during your nap. It is understood that most people do not pay attention to their nap posture. Some lie on their stomachs, while others simply sleep on the table. In fact, sleeping at a desk will reduce blood supply to the head, causing a series of symptoms of brain ischemia and hypoxia, such as dizziness, blurred vision, and fatigue after waking up. At the same time, using your hands as a pillow will put pressure on the eyeballs, which can easily induce eye diseases over time. Lying on the table will compress the chest, affecting blood circulation and nerve conduction.

The benefits and precautions of lunch breaks for primary school students have been analyzed clearly. Primary school students have poor adaptability to learning, and they do not have long time to concentrate on listening to lectures in each class, so the brain needs more sufficient rest. Lunch breaks are a way to improve brain fatigue. During lunch breaks, you need to pay attention to many things, such as the choice of lunch break location, the length of lunch break and the posture of lunch break, which will also affect the rest. If the lunch break method is not correct, it will cause harm to the brain and body.
