【題目】

Are you sometimes a little tired and sleepy in the early afternoon? Many people feel this way after lunch. I have a habit of taking a nap (小睡) after lunch. Without a nap at noon, I will feel uncomfortable the whole afternoon. A nap after lunch can make me feel fresh and comfortable. Then I can work better in the afternoon.

In many countries where naps are traditional, people are seldom ill such as heart diseases.

Many working people have no time to take naps though doctors may advise taking naps in the early afternoon. Here are a few tips about your nap:

Remember that the best time to take a nap is about eight hours after you get up. A short sleep too late in the day may only make you feel more tired and sleepy later.
