Siesta!.

Opinion of a specialist Vladimir Dorokhov, Doctor of Biological Sciences, Professor, Head of the Laboratory of Neurobiology of Sleep and Waking of the Institute of Higher Nervous Activity and Neurophysiology of the Russian Academy of Sciences:.

- Our body reacts absolutely adequately when it wants to disconnect for a short time off-schedule in the summer. After all, what is heat? This is an increase in the ambient temperature. We need to somehow respond to it, that is, to level the change in this temperature around. And our body acts competently: slows down the physiological processes, hence, the energy in the form of heat, the organism releases less and less heat. The side effect of slowing down these processes is fatigue and lethargy, which we observe in our own hot weather. That's why we are quite correctly drawn to sleep.

- To resist this and endure until night is not necessary: ??if you are at work, nap minutes for 20 - 40, if at home or at the cottage, then it is possible for an hour, - our interlocutor continues.. - I do not recommend it longer: so then you can not sleep at night. It is best to sleep during the day during lunch or after it, it's not for nothing that this time has become a siesta in many hot countries. And remember that you need to sleep in the shade, not in the sun! By the way, this kind of daytime sleep improves mood.
