Yeah, that's true. In Vietnam we always take a short rest after lunch for the work afternoon. A short sleep during the day can make you more energy!
Im so jealous. But wouldnt that prolong your working hours? In my country working is 9hrs because 8hrs for working and 1 hr lunchtime.
@@soonsuicidal quite similar. We start at 8am and end at 5 or 6pm.
@@soonsuicidal No! You can use your lunchtime to get some sleep! You don't take an hour to eat your food and brush your teeth, right? That's it!
@@____pri__4165 well, I use it to have some chat or skit with my colleagues 😂

Your video helps me rather than hinder. Thank you!
Yes. A mid day nap refreshes you and makes you more alert to finish the day.
Nice to meet you, Beth! I listen you much times on week, practicing my English! Awesome work! ☺
Taking power naps can keep your mind sharp, but long naps might hinder you rather than help you.
What do you think is a good length of nap?
@@bbclearningenglish I think it's about 30 minutes.
about 25 minutes.
Sharp? No you people are lazy and lazy people are never sharp
As my experience from my homeland tradition. I think you can take a good nap or not depend on your enviroment around there. Forcing 15, 20 minutes or 1 hour is a silly thinking way. And remember don't use any electricity stuffs before taking a nap
Naps is happiness!
Happy people think better, work better, mood better too.
In Islam , the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) used to take naps during the day, especially in the afternoon, and this practice is known as "qaylulah." The qaylulah is considered a healthy and beneficial practice, especially for those who may not have had enough sleep the previous night.
I love short nap after lunch!
Thank you!

My grandparents and parents take a nap every afternoon.They told me to take a nap when I was young,and I had to listen them,so I took a nap every afteroon.However,now I don't have that habit anymore,but my grandparents and parents still do.
For how much time?
@@ganh222from 15 to 30 minutes. Use Eye Mask and set an alarm to wake up for work.

Your videos really reduced our boredom and motivated us to watch more and learn more of English. We are really thankful to you and grateful to you as well.
Been a big fan of 1/2 hour mid day power naps for years ... like a brain shut down and re-boot I'm actually able to snooze for between 20 to 40 mins consistently without setting alarm like starting the day all over again ... so choice ... should be required at work

Being myself a Spanish person, We have been living with"siestas"(short naps) for such long time.. So nothing new for me with the discovers of this study.. Right now I woke up for a short and pleasant "siesta". Great Video and Greetings from Spain
Great - careful with your prepositions though - we say 'I woke up FROM a siesta'. Happy napping :)
@@bbclearningenglish oh, thanks so much for your information.. Still drowsy after"siesta"🕗
😆
Very happy to have subscribed! I hope to learn a lot. Thanks ❤

Always learning something new.
Thanks for sharing this content, I'm following you from Ecuador, kind regards.
Thank you for learning with us 😊
Good class, thanks.
I,m so really excited to watch this amazing topic that good our health we need more guys
After long hours of stuyding in school, I took advantage of lunch break to have a power nap about 30 minutes . So I can come back my studying with a sharp mind. In contrast, If I have a long nap, it will hinder me from concentrating on lessons.
Having a power nap in the noon can make your brain sharp and easy to work effectively. Otherwise, you can feel dog-tired, which hinders your efficiency.
Wonderful lesson...Thanks.
After watching this lesson, I'm going to take a power nap, so my mind will be sharp for tomorrow's Live Lesson!
Perfect!
@@bbclearningenglish Thank you!
I think it is exactly, I usually short sleep between morning and afternoon. This help me work better and have energy during the day.
Thank a lot for you amazing video. I have learned some new things about shorter and longer naps.
I prefer the short naps 'cause have more benefits.
In Spain we have a nice word for nap "siesta".
When you come to our country on holidays, you should take a nap, it will be helpful for your health. Enjoy it! 😅
Oh this is great. In Viet Nam, we have short nap at middat and it usually last 30 to 40 minutes. After you continue to go work. I think power nap is good for your health, you perform better your job.
very helpful.
Very informative. I enjoyed it.
Thanks!

I like nap so much , I feel better after a nap, in Italian there is a beautiful word that means nap and is pennichella

Fantastic subject I have been taking short naps and short meditation quiet time a few times a day all my life . Even with earplugs awake cover eyes set 10 to 20 minute timer wonderful . 😌
Thanks for this episode ❤I want to do have more power naps 🎉
Good for you! In English, we usually say 'take a nap' or 'have a nap'. 💤
Thanks ❤
Excellent. Thanks.
Hello and thank you very much for video! Can you tell me what language level is there? B1-B2?
Parts that I cannot catch up with or that I cannot understand are
4:00 Naps could help or hinder your health depending on their length, study suggests
4:42 While others - longer ones - are unhelpful
5:08 I could also say that having to work hinders me being able to tale naps regularly.
Thank you 😀
You're welcome 😊
Outstanding and informative video.👍 Thank you so much for it.❤
Please keep it up. ❤
Fantastic subject I have been taking short naps and short meditation quiet time a few times a day all my life . Even with earplugs awake cover eyes set 10 to 20 minute timer wonderful .
@bbclearningenglish Thank you for the video :D! excuse me, how long is the appropiate time for a short nap?
Yes exactly so, all kind of people have to taking power naps for their more energy in the during afternoon
Great video and tips! I'd better take a power nap now!
I always take long naps because i think it's good for my health and keep my mind sharp..After watching this video, I should take power naps instead of long naps because long naps are unhelpful, it might hinder rather than help me.
I find that 10 minutes is the sweet spot.
Regular power naps can improve our productivity, increase our brain sharpness and quick thing, as well as can help in lowering the risk of associated health problems. On the contrary, longer naps may hinder our efficiency and effectiveness, aslo increase the chances of health issues.
A fantastic learning platform.
Thank for your sharing knowledge ❤❤❤
Thanks for watching!
Let me add something to it. The word "hinder" comes from german word "Hindernis", which basically means "obstacle". I personally learnt German and yet in the process of learning German that's why many words that are used in English, are mostly originated from French or German. One thing I noticed here, that the british accent is very closed to the German Accent.
Please give your number,😭😭
I love you so much♥️because of you I could improve my English level👋🏻♥️from ALGERIA🇩🇿
Power nap gives you energy to spend your day better ❤️
i agree.naps are great.especially on a rainy or cloudy day.but,they are a luxury.alot of folks would love to nap,but arent able to.
Power naps help me to concentrate on my essay subject and carry it out perfectly!☺️
You are lazy
Please give your number,😭😭
I really love BBC presenters.❤ I would become a presenter just to be like you guys. ❤❤❤ I love your lessons too
All the best and go ahead
Hay estudios que dicen lo contrario. Todavía no sabemos bien el efecto de las siestas.
Saludos
I was listening to your podcast on telegram channel and I have not seen your appearance before. It's kinda amazing 😅
I totally agree. I feel more productive when I take a nap in the afternoon.
Thank you, from your fan in Thailand.
Thank you for learning English with us 🥰
45 seconds of content during more than five minutes. I don’t mind losing four minutes unless I harshly feel it every single second. And… you get the point.
I totally agree. Since childhood, especially every time I take a 10-15 minute nap at the office during break time, my mind is like a computer that is rebooted, refreshed, I become fresher, ready to think hard again.
I'm from Brazil and I've been studying English for a short time. I really like these videos, they are very useful and fun. Thanks.
Thank you! 😃
I like this channel, today' s discussion help me to study 3 vocabulary also get knowledge about brain
Thank you so much interesting Learned something new super nice thank you good day. Mc
Thanks! We're glad you liked it :)
Thanks a lot, it's really productive. Unfortunately, it's difficult to have a nap power if you working outdoors and hard. In fact, it depends your job and your country.
i love the music
Nice Work guys…
Thank you for this vedio .. i really prefer short power nap because it has great benefits , i think 20 to 30 minutes every day is enough to renew your energy and continue your day active .. by the other hand long naps are bads for me and often i wake up more tired than i was before sleep
I like this guy who was speaking slowly😄
Yes we take nap 🥱 in the summer snd donot in winter as the days are shorter ❤❤
i can't believe in the power nap has many benefit with my life and i get used to sleeping about 30 minutes at lunch break it's really good
That was so well. Thanks a lot for bbc
To be honest i learn a lot from this channel. So thanks a lot
Happy to hear that!
Thanks for your video, it will be helpful for me. short nap is helping improve our brain power, get sharp brain. And long nap hinders our health. The healthy nap timing at 6 to 8 hours.
I take my power naps everyday. It help me to do my job more powerful and get more relaxing feel. But long naps hinder my daily routine and i feel very tired
You have to hit that sweet spot - not too short, and not too long!
taking a 30-minute power nap not only replenishs your energy, but also generates your sharp brain. however a long nap will hinder you to make a more productive day
Great video
Thanks!
Oh! Power naps is so helpful for our workplace but my workplace has no place for doing this.
Wonderful learning platform 🥰
Thank you 🤗
Highly appreciative ❤❤. What could be the duration of power nap?
I like mine to be about 40 minutes - how about you?
@@bbclearningenglish I think thats a better option.
Napping through whole afternoon hinder my efficiency dramatically
I usually have power naps, it helps me to keep my mind sharp but when the naps lasted longer than 30 minutes it hinders my mind
Thanks. What is the source?
Amazing
Thank you BBC for this nice video.Before watching this video I only know the word nap it means short duration sleep.But after watching this video I got more vocabulary relating to nap like Power Nap,cat nap, long nap etc.Actually am like to have nap every day. I watched this video after a cat nap🙂.
