Can improve concentration

Meditation is to pay attention to one’s breath, to return one’s mind to the body, and not to entertain foolish ideas, which is helpful to improve one’s concentration and health.

Take a nap for 10 minutes

Comparable to sleeping for 2 hours.

A study found that a 10-minute nap every afternoon can drive away drowsiness, and the nerve relaxation effect is comparable to that of a deep sleep for 2 hours. Shi Ming, deputy director of Shanghai Chinese Medicine Insomnia Medical Cooperation Center, pointed out that "charging" yourself with a nap can improve the brain’s reaction ability and improve the work efficiency in the afternoon. People who don’t sleep well at night should take a nap at noon, which can improve the impact of lack of sleep.
