hope u finda useful!!

n itz imp 2 complete our sleep may it b 4hrs 5hrs or 8hrs

n sleepin in afternoon helps a lot

coz itz said ki

an half an hr sleep in afternoon is equivalent 2 a 3 hrs sleep at nite

pinnacle

its certainly not "harmful"
u gotta make adjustment urself
if ucant study late nite
den avoid nap in noon
if u can study late nite den its suggested dat u shud hav 1 1.5 hrs sleep in d aftrnoon

studyid

see.. taking a nap in the after noon is recommended .. but not for 1 hr or more than that...........

the reason is that the mind goes to the deep sleep stage after 1 hr or 1.30 hr or so after sleeping....

so if u take a nap of the above mentioned time and wake up in the deep stage .. then it will seem like u dont want to study and want to sleep more.. so your time gets wasted...... and also if u dont want to go to sleep again and study.. then u will feel somewhat that u are deprived of concentration............

so the solution to this is that :::::: u shud not sleep for more than 45 mins.. thats the ideal time to have a nap..

and it is not compulsory that u have a nap in the afternoon only.. u can have a nap whenever u want to .. i mean whenever u feel lazy.. or somewhat concentration deprived.. u can have a nap..

now on more thing : its important : if u still feel sleepy then dont go to sleep......... and most of us feel sleepy during the afternooon... why ? ????

the answer is the regular temperature slump in your body.. ..

see .. when your body temperature is high.. u feel very alert... and on the go.. u like to study,,,,,,and when it decreases then u feel sleepy.. its just an indication by your body that u need sleep... but actually u dont need sleep. and if u will sleep .. then when u will wake up. u will feel damn lazy and tired...................

so the solution to that is simple :

if u feel that u are feeling sleepy .. then do some intense but short physical activity like runnign or push ups.. mind it shud be short .......otherwise after an hour or so u will sleepy again.. so b careful.. its better to take a water bottle and your walkman and go for a walk.

another thing i forgot to mention is that u shud drink lots and lots of water.. it will directly reduce ur sleep by 2 hrs.....

just try the above and feel the difference in u... if still u feel there is anything left then u cna surely ask me .. i will try to help u out.

and sorry to write such a long answer..........

yes , there is no harm in taking a nap but make it sure that it doesnot turns into sleep

body needs time to relax also so a sound sleep of about 6-7 hrs it neccessary but time management needs to be done

siddharthsaxena

Yes dude, it is advisable.

This is coz after you take lunch , blood supply to the stomach increases to enhance digestion and hence brain doesnt work much efficiently and you feel sleepy.

So you can go for a nap provided you make sure that it remains a NAP .

And you can cut sleep at night to make for it

Hope it helps you

Cheers !!!@@!!!!!

Studyid is absolutely right. ur nap shouln't cross 45 mins. upto 45 mins ur mind is in State 2 sleep. As soon as you get up, go outside and stay in the sunshine for 5 minutes. ur sleepy feeling will disapear.

mastermind890

i dont think it is right to sleep during the afternoon...u should study in the afternoon especially 2-5 pm coz thats the time during which u will be appearing IITJEE...so we shuld adjust the body clock for max.productivity during that time

djdylan2000

Hey mastermind890,

see zeeshanp is still in the XIth. Taking afternoon naps is found to be good by researchers. Your point is right about the jee timing. but one should get accustommed to that timing only about one month b4 the jee.

pink_ele

well u u r dying to go to bed den u cant study even if u try ur best
sleep whenever u feel lyk day or nyt
nap is good
but yes excess of sleep is harmful
if u havnet got hectic schedule den u hav tym 4 6-7 hr sleep

sleep is essential...........ur brain needs rest!!

u must have min 8 hrs of sleep..........and yes, 1 hr sleep in the afternoon is ok!!

adi_rockss

I have a small doubt.

It is advised that we shud sleep for arnd 8 hrs in a day.

so if we sleep for arnd 1-2 hrs in the day then can we cut down the same number of hrs in our night time sleep.??

Means if we sleep for 1-2 hrs in the afternoon then can we sleep for 4-5 hrs in the night and get up??
