Do you find yourself getting lightheaded when writing an email? That might be because you’re so engrossed in your words that you’ve stopped breathing. Email apnea refers to the unconscious and temporary suspension of regular breathing while checking and reading email. It might sound strange, but apparently 80 percent of us have picked up this habit – and it could be seriously damaging our health. The term, first introduced by former Apple executive, Linda Stone, describes what happens when you go into ‘fight or flight’ mode. Breath-holding, shallow breathing and hyperventilating can all trigger something called the sympathetic nervous system (SNS). But in the comfort of an office, the unnecessary reaction can cause undue stress to both the body and the mind. (中國日報網(wǎng)英語點津 yaning)
