- Concerned about spinal health and sleep quality for students napping head down on their desks, one school takes a different approach
- Teachers say the 150 students who have signed on to the ‘sleep lying down project’ fall asleep faster and have better quality rest
A primary school in China has been praised for radicalising nap time by allowing students to build tents in which to rest so they get healthier sleep lying flat on the ground.
While most primary school students in China take their noon nap by resting their heads on their desks or use the time to do homework, Xingfuhe Elementary School in Hangzhou, Zhejiang province, eastern China, does things differently.
The school lets its students sleep for 40 minutes at noon in tents set up in spacious event rooms, the Qianjiang Evening News reported.
