Desk sleepers refer to office workers who lie down at their desks and take a nap. The emergence of desk-laying people is mainly due to the lack of lunch break facilities in the workplace. Long-term lunch break at the desk will cause cervical spondylosis and other hazards. So what are the unexpected dangers of sleeping like this?

“A brief nap at noon is like sleeping all night long.” Napping is essential for people who pay attention to health, especially for office workers with a tight rhythm, napping is a rare enjoyment in busy life. A new term that has become popular online recently - "desk sleepers" refers to office workers who can only take a nap at their desks because there are no lunch break facilities at their workplace. In response to this phenomenon, experts say, don’t let a nap become a “mistake”. Especially for women, this kind of "missleeping" is a kind of damage to the breasts, so female friends should pay special attention to it.

Recently, the China Youth Daily Social Survey Center conducted an online survey of 1,644 people. The results showed that 53.6% of the respondents admitted that they were members of the "desk party group", and 72.1% of the respondents said There are many "desk partyers" around them, and 26.4% of them said there are a lot of them.

For most office workers, a comfortable nap is a luxury. They do not have the conditions to enjoy comfortable beds, sofas, and recliners, so taking a nap at the table has become a common phenomenon in the workplace. The survey showed that 69.7% of people believed that it was because their workplaces did not have nap facilities, 54.8% said that their workplaces were far away from home and they could not take naps, and 38.2% said that their workplaces had heavy workloads and occupied lunch breaks. < /p>

A study conducted by several psychologists at Harvard University in the United States showed that a midday nap can refresh the mind and is equivalent to an 8-hour night's sleep. Many people will realize that their work efficiency will be greatly improved after taking a nap.

However, experts remind women who have the habit of taking a nap on the table at noon. Sleeping in this way will squeeze the breasts and deform them. Experts say that sleeping on the table will put the chest at the fulcrum of compression. If it is pressed by hard objects such as the edge of the table for nearly 1.5 hours, it will also interfere with the normal metabolism of the breast glands and cause adverse consequences. Women should try to sleep on their stomachs as little as possible. It is best to lie on your back and lean slightly to the right. Otherwise, the breasts will be severely oppressed and cause sagging and sunken breasts. Women should try not to lie on their sides in one direction for a long time. This will not only squeeze the breasts, but also cause uneven breast development on both sides.

Not only that, taking a nap on the desk can also cause a series of other discomforts in the human body. Many "desk-sleeping people" complained: "If you don't sleep at noon, you will collapse in the afternoon; if you sleep, you will collapse even more." "I really can't sleep on the table anymore, because the intraocular pressure will rise and I will have a headache"; Within 15 minutes, my arms were numb, and sometimes my neck would feel sore, so I couldn’t sleep well at all.” “I can’t sleep on my stomach, as it makes me feel nauseous.”

Experts said that sleeping on the table for a long time has a great impact on the cervical spine. This posture makes the neck tilt forward, which is opposite to the normal physiological curvature of the cervical spine. Over time, it will easily lead to cervical spine deformation. Neck muscle fatigue causes cervical spondylosis. In addition, sleeping on the stomach also affects breathing, blood circulation and nerve conduction, causing symptoms such as dizziness, dizziness, tinnitus, and numbness of the limbs after waking up. This not only fails to achieve the purpose of rest, but also increases the feeling of fatigue.

Experts suggest that office workers should prepare folding recliners, U-shaped pillows and other items in the office. During lunch breaks, they can put U-shaped pillows on their necks and lean on the back of the chair to sleep, so that their eyes can relax. , cervical spine and other parts to relax and adjust. Be careful not to take a nap too long, 15 to 30 minutes is best.

Women should avoid the four most harmful postures in life

Experts remind that many women often develop some bad habits in their daily lives, such as bad walking, standing, sitting, etc., so that they invisibly injure their breasts without even realizing it.

Hold your arms: Many women have the habit of crossing their arms, but they don’t know that holding their arms is the most unfavorable posture for breasts. When a woman holds her arms, she will put severe pressure on both breasts at the same time, causing them to be compressed and deformed by strong external force. If things go on like this, not only will the breasts lose their round and firm curves, but it will also easily lead to breast sagging, which will seriously affect breast development. The correct posture should be to relax and naturally hang your hands on both sides of your legs, or hold your hands in front of your abdomen so that your breasts are not subject to any pressure from the limbs, and can breathe, stretch, and grow naturally.

When sitting, you should raise your chest, raise your head, and straighten your back, so that the curve of your chest will appear attractive.

Bending: Due to the intense pace of work, especially women who sit for long periods of time, they always maintain the same sitting posture. Over time, they often collapse involuntarily, which increases the burden on the lumbar spine, hinders blood circulation, and in turn affects the strength of the chest muscles. development. It is recommended that women who sit for a long time straighten their backs frequently and stand against the wall for a few minutes when they are tired. This will make your chest feel more comfortable.

Sitting prone: Due to long-term sitting, fatigue or bad habits, some women like to lean sideways, which will also have adverse consequences for the breasts.

The correct sitting posture for women should be: the upper body is basically straight, and the chest is about 10 cm away from the desk.

In addition, wearing inappropriate bras, eating unreasonably, being squeezed by external forces, and having too rough sex can all cause damage to women's breasts.

For the health and beauty of breasts, experts suggest that women should develop the habit of regular exercise and do some appropriate exercises such as breast expansion, deep breathing, shaking hands, turning waist, etc., to help activate meridians, promote qi and blood, and prevent The aging of breast tissue makes breasts more toned and taller. You can also use massage to protect your breasts at home. The most important thing is to change your bad sitting, standing and sleeping postures and become an elegant and upright woman.
