# 中国人为什么午睡？

Why do Chinese people nap after lunch?

中午十二点，很多中国人在吃午饭。十二点半，他们做什么？很多人在睡觉！中午睡觉，中文叫“午睡”。

在哪儿午睡？

学生在学校睡。在中国，很多小学和中学中午有午睡的时间。有的学生在桌子上睡，有的学校有小床。

上班的人也午睡。很多人关上电脑，在桌子上睡一下。也有人在车里睡。

睡多长时间？

医生说，十到二十分钟很好。睡一个小时、两个小时，太长了。起来的时候，你会觉得很累，很想睡觉。

午睡有什么用？

上午学习、工作，人很累了。下午还有很多事要做。睡二十分钟，下午你会觉得很好。

你呢？你中午睡觉吗？明天吃了午饭，你也试一下：关上手机，睡二十分钟。

有人问：“你在睡觉吗？”你说：“不是，我在学中文！”
