Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Wuxi school introduces reclining chairs for student naps
Students tend to feel sleepy after lunch. Some primary schools in China
have their students take a nap at their desks after lunch to increase their
attentiveness for afternoon classes. They found that after-lunch naps seem to improve
concentration during afternoon classes. Now, an experimental school in Eastern
China has introduced ergonomic recliners and desks for a better nap, which look
like some airlines’ premier economy class seats. The school says this ergonomic
setting has improved students’ academic performance. Indeed, a short nap of ten
to 20 minutes makes you feel refreshed and restores cognitive function to improve
academic or work performance. But if you simply take a nap at the desk, you may
hurt your back and neck. So, if you do the right thing, you’d better do it
right, but be careful not to oversleep!
Read the article and learn about ergonomically designed desk-napping
desks and chairs.
