People in the workplace take a 1-hour lunch break, and some people rely on jogging to continue their lives
What are contemporary professionals busy with during the gap hour? According to the results of the "2023 Workplace White-Collar Sleep Observation Report" in March this year, 37.7% of the workplace took a lunch break of less than 1 hour, 47.7% took 1-2 hours, and only 14.6% took more than 2 hours.
1. Siesta:
Lunch break, lunch break, as the name suggests, is inseparable from a "break". In the author's survey of respondents in the workplace, taking a nap during lunch break is the choice of most people.
The Japanese recently designed the Giraffenap, a weird nap room. The size of a phone booth, the supported slab is soundproof and allows office workers to sleep upright, like giraffes.
The idea is good, but for the claustrophobic crowd, people who are slightly fatter may have difficulty finding a comfortable position. In contrast, Chinese workplace naps focus on a flexible and ingenious idea.
The ancients called afternoon nap or day sleep. Although it is not as comfortable as the ancients who slept with "a pot of fine wine and a furnace of medicine, and listened to the pine breeze to sleep during the day", a comfortable nap position can give employees a revived experience during a short lunch break.
Employee fancy nap learning:
The bronze-level nap is to sleep on the stomach at the workstation. However, the posture of lying on the table is actually unscientific, and it is only suitable for sleeping for about 20 minutes. After a long time, it will damage the spine, and it will be uncomfortable when you wake up, and you will not be able to relax.
A gold-level nap is to lean back on a chair and use various artifacts. A good office chair plays a key role at this time. Coupled with a comfortable neck pillow and pillow, it is more or less like "it's so relaxing to sit and sleep while singing, and the south wind is cool in the afternoon".
A chair that can be reclined can instantly improve the quality of naps. Some people spend a lot of money to buy, and some people buy simple ones. No matter what you find, it is the best.
But not every office has enough space to put down a chair that is enough to stretch your legs and half recline. At this time, you must give full play to your wisdom in the limited space!
It is normal to work overtime and stay up late, so taking a nap is like continuing your life. But the working space is limited, in order to sleep comfortably, a lazy sofa is hidden under the table. As soon as the nap time came, I immediately got under the table, the chair just blocked it, and the light was very suitable.
Experts of traditional Chinese medicine suggest taking a nap in the workplace, you don’t have to fall asleep, you can just close your eyes and rest your mind, but lie flat as much as possible.
2. High-efficiency family:
Efficient lunch break, a fighter during lunch break.
People in this type of workplace never take a nap. They are more willing to use this 1-2 hours for an efficient lunch break, including but not limited to study and exercise.
Develop the habit of studying during lunch break. Listen to online lectures, read books and documentaries, and watch TED. Sometimes, in order to get off work earlier in the evening, I will rush forward at noon.
Lunch break is also an excellent time to exercise. Therefore, while other colleagues are sleeping and drinking coffee, they can change into sports equipment and start running at a 5-kilometer pace along the perimeter.
If you feel that the intensity of running and yoga is too high, you can also search for some simple movements suitable for doing at the workstation on the Internet to stretch your limbs and cervical spine.
3. Short-selling family:
There are also a small number of respondents who choose to be in a daze during their lunch break. Most of them are doing activities with their partners, eating in the restaurants in the commercial center downstairs of the company on a AA basis, and it takes forty or fifty minutes if there is no waiting for a seat, and there are still ten minutes. Choose to take a walk nearby, buy a cup of coffee or milk tea, bask in the sun on a bench in winter, and go shopping in the mall with air conditioning in summer.
How to choose a lunch break is actually closely related to the company's policy benefits and commuting distance. From "fired for taking a long nap" in the early years to "prohibiting naps at the table", companies that have introduced strange policies have brought the happiness of workers in the workplace to the bottom. But there are also fairy companies that recognize the importance of lunch breaks and give employees as much rest space as possible.
I hope that you, me, and others, as migrant workers, don’t neglect your lunch break, and realize the freedom of lunch break as soon as possible.
