Advancement Treasure
For primary and secondary school students, the May Day holiday is a very special time node, because after the May Day, the school adjusts the work and rest time to implement daylight saving time, and there will be an extra half an hour to an hour of lunch break in the school's noon schedule.
Recently, some parents reported to Sister Lu that their children will enter primary school in the second half of the year, and during this time, they paid attention to the class schedule of the corresponding school and found that the school did not have a lunch break at noon.
"Kindergarten takes a two-hour nap every day, and when I get to primary school, I don't have anything at all, and I am not ready for the transition. The parent admitted that she inquired around and found that there were not many schools without a lunch break, "The so-called young and primary connection, it seems that the habit of napping must be changed first." ”
Parental concerns
The napping habit stops at kindergarten
Ms. Lu, a mother in Hangzhou, has a daughter in kindergarten who is about to enter primary school, and has been paying attention to the topic of kindergarten and primary school recently. Some time ago, someone in the community mother group shared a summer kindergarten bridging course schedule of the institution, which surprised her who is good at time management.
"Morning reading starts at 8:30 a.m., two big classes in the morning, interspersed with sports and games, and lunch and lunch break are less than two hours. Ms. Lu said frankly that her daughter has the habit of taking a nap for about two hours since she was a child, and eating is also a bit rubbing.

Ms. Lu felt that this arrangement was a bit "rolly", and her mother immediately explained in the group that in fact, this class schedule was similar to that in elementary school.
"It seems that it is necessary to let the child get used to the rhythm in advance, shorten the nap time, and speed up the meal time. Like Ms. Lu, there are not many parents who are concerned about whether the school has a lunch break.
Some primary school parents said frankly that the phenomenon of napping habits stopping at kindergarten is like a strange circle-
Most of the children have a nap when they go to kindergarten, and the children wake up full of energy and have enough energy to play, but as soon as they enter primary school, the children begin to be busy studying, pursuing grades, and the nap that should be the most restful is gone.
Children don't have a nap at school, and parents have a lot to worry about.
Some parents said that their children have always developed the habit of napping in kindergarten, but suddenly there is no in primary school, and their children have to adapt to new work and rest habits. "Mainly after a morning of studying, the children's eyes did not get a good rest. "Parents say that although there are eye exercises, closing your eyes and resting is the best way to prevent myopia. Parents are more concerned about the fact that napping can improve the efficiency of learning in the afternoon. "In addition, like our school, the lower grades end at 3:30 p.m. and the upper grades end at 4 p.m., so for working families, if children can take a one-hour nap at school and leave school one hour late, it is more beneficial for parents to pick up and drop off their children. ”
Regarding whether there is a nap in Hangzhou primary and secondary schools, and whether to arrange a nap, we have also designed a questionnaire, welcome to actively participate -
Investigation findings
Whether you can take a nap or not varies from school to school
Can primary and secondary school students in Hangzhou sleep as much as they want at noon? Sister Lu randomly interviewed many schools in different urban areas and found that the situation of each school was different.
A teacher in the upper grades of primary school said that the school will arrange for students in the lower grades to sleep on their stomachs on their desks, "Our school has no conditions to lie down and sleep, that is, let the students who want to sleep take a rest on their stomachs, and the time is not long, only about half an hour." There is no nap in the senior year, and the noon is usually self-study and homework. ”
Some teachers said that when the school was first established, the number of students was not large, and there were nap classrooms, but later as the number of students increased with the increase in grades, the classrooms were not enough, and the nap classrooms had to be cancelled. "Mainly due to the space limitations, there will be a nap after May Day, but you can only rest on the desk. "I feel that some children can't sleep at first, but when the weather gets hotter in May and June, the children's demand for naps will be higher, and everyone will basically rest on their stomachs, and the lunch break is about an hour." ”

In some schools, students will be asked to bring a small pillow, and they will rest on the pillow during a nap.
"Napping varies from person to person, and what we advocate is to sleep when you want, and read a book if you can't sleep. Some teachers in the lower grades of the school said that the school generally allows children to move on the playground at noon during winter time, or the teacher will organize group reading, face-to-face homework, and correct homework, and when it enters the summer time after May Day, the school will let the students lie on the small pillow to rest for a while, "The vast majority of schools in our neighborhood are also like this, and they can only sleep on their stomachs." ”
However, teachers at several schools said that there was no nap time in the school.
"There are about 40 minutes in the middle of the day, and the teacher usually watches the children do their homework. Some teachers said that their school does not arrange students to take a nap, but the children vary greatly, some are very energetic, and some will be sleepy in the afternoon. ”
Another teacher said that although the school did not arrange a unified nap time, at the beginning of this semester, students in their classes were arranged to take naps. "The main reason is that during the physical examination, it was found that several students had serious vision loss, so this semester they were asked to bring pillows and lie on the table at noon to close their eyes and rest. ”
Nap discussion
Whether or not to take a nap varies from person to person
Talking about the topic of napping always awakens a lot of memories for everyone.
"I remember when I was a child, I would go home for dinner at noon, and then walk to school, without a nap at noon, and the first 30-minute self-study class in the afternoon was either used to write homework or was taken by the teacher to give a lecture. Some parents recalled that they dozed off at the beginning of the first class every afternoon, "I was very sleepy at night, and I went to bed no more than 9 o'clock." ”
Another person said that he never took a nap from elementary school to junior high school, and began to be sleepy in high school, "I can stay up until a little more in junior high school, and I don't doze off in class the next day, and I will be sleepy in high school...... I've been working for a few years now, I don't sleep at noon, and I collapse directly in the afternoon. ”
As for whether or not to take a nap, in fact, every child's situation is different.
"My family has a lot of energy and never takes a nap. Kindergarten is pretending to sleep a lot of the time, and it's very hard. Now in elementary school, I sleep late. ”
"My daughter didn't like napping since she was a child, and she never took a nap in kindergarten, so she learned to close her eyes and sleep fakely. She said she enjoyed going to elementary school because she didn't have to waste time taking naps. ”
In the interview, teachers generally reflected that whether or not to sleep does vary from person to person, and it is related to work and rest habits.
"In fact, in the lower grades of primary school, because I have just been promoted from kindergarten, my work and rest habits are similar to those in kindergarten, and my biological clock has not yet been adjusted, so I don't take a lunch break, and I will doze off in the afternoon. Especially in the first grade, there will be people who can't help but doze off in class. However, the teacher said that in the upper grades, if the school has not implemented napping, the children will get used to it, "It will not affect them, and they will be more energetic in the afternoon." ”
Compared with primary schools, middle school teachers admit that students arrive at school at about 7 o'clock in the morning and go home at 8 o'clock in the evening. "The weather is getting hotter and hotter, especially when the air conditioning is turned on, the classroom windows are closed, and it is easy to get sleepy in the afternoon. The teacher observed that although the school does not arrange naps during winter time, some students will lie on the table for a while to rest at noon.
