刚吃完午饭就午睡好吗 八成英国人午休时间不吃午饭

八成英国人午休时间不吃午饭  

Just one in five workers use their lunch break to actually eat every day — with most using the time to catch up on personal errands and browse social media instead.
A study of 2
000 UK professionals found 79% will tuck into their food as they work
so they can use their "lunch break" to do other things.
Watching YouTube videos
walking the dog and playing with apps on their phones are also among some of the ways people spend their lunch break.
看看油管视频，遛遛狗，玩玩手机应用也是人们度过午休时间的其中几种方式。
The study
missioned by Samsung KX
is designed to inspire people to reclaim their lunch breaks.
"We all need to make time for ourselves and our research has shown how few really are
" said Tanya Weller
director of Samsung Showcase KX. "It's easy to get caught up in a piece of work
but people aren't even giving themselves a moment to eat — let alone do anything else."
According to the study
approximately 40% of respondents would like more time to pursue hobbies and interests during their lunch break
as they feel work has pletely taken over. But 67% will frequently skip their midday meal altogether
with the average person only managing to take a proper break from their work three days a week.
The study
which was carried out by OnePoll
also found 46% of those polled find their job is simply too busy to take time out of their day to rejuvenate
whereas 15% get so side-tracked they fet to take lunch. Another 13% claimed the culture of their workplace makes them feel as though they shouldn't have a break
with 1 in 10 even feeling guilty for having some time to themselves.
But 37% said they don't know what to do with their time
so they just don't bother to take a lunch break.
It also emerged that 43% will usually spend their allocated break time at their desk
with just a fifth stepping away to chill on the sofa. As a result
around 70% confessed to checking work emails or taking calls during their lunch time
rather than enjoying themselves.
Participants said they would prefer to spend their downtime watching episodes of their favourite TV shows
playing puter games or even getting creative by painting
drawing or making music on a device.
The problem is
the average worker surveyed was allowed only up to 40 minutes to take a break from work
and many only take a third of this time — or less than 15 minutes — taking a rest.
A third would like to be able to spend more time stretching their legs and going for a walk during this time
while a fifth want to listen to music more often. As a result
they would like an additional 26 minutes a day to do things they really enjoy during their lunch break.
