When the midday nap bell rings, Geng Xian from a foreign language school in Shenzhen pulls out the footrest, reclines (靠) on her chair and lies back for a nap with her classmates.

Since May 6th, the school has introduced reclining chairs for students to nap during the lunch breaks. The chairs have been used across four grades, with over 100 sets provided for Grade 9.

“Before this, I could only rest at my desk for a nap, often leading to my hands and neck uncomfortable. Sometimes I even found myself pressing my eyes against my arms, causing pains,” the 15-year-old Geng complained. “Now, lying down for sleep is very comfortable, just like being at home.”

For Wang Tingnuo, lying down to nap has made her want to rest. “In the past, I napped for about 20 minutes at most before we got up. Now I choose to sleep for 10 to 20 more minutes with the reclining chair,” she said. She added that the longer sleep time also helps her do better in her afternoon studies.

According to Xu Weimin, a sleep expert in Shanghai, lying down for a nap brings physical and mental benefits. “It can relax the muscles and improve blood flow to the brain,” Xu told Xinhua News.

However, there has also been some worry about the reclining chairs. “Some students might lean back even during class, so it needs effective (有效的) management,” Chu Peilu, an English teacher said. “But in all, I think it brings more good than bad.”

(   )1.What is TRUE about the reclining chairs in the school?
