The Sincere Subject Of Sleeping

Siesta, a the short nap every after lunch, is a routine that the Spanish have adapted so the people could have their own secluded time. Even during the old days, siesta was an meaningful pasttime that people, including the foreigners, partook in. It is regular therefore that you would see shops closed in Spain, or in other Spanish-speaking countries, or see the streets discarded. Imagine yourself standing in solitary in the middle of nowhere just because you exploited away from your hotel after lunch! The Spanish people take siestas zealously and some even follow guidelines regarding the desired conditions in order to achieve a decent siesta. Most meaningful of which is to have a full, satisfying lunch with friends and relatives, and to only limit your siesta from 15-30 minutes in order to wake up feeling revitalized and in a good mood.

Well, that's one idea that workaholics will never accede to! I personally know people who would buckle down for 15 hours straight, taking only a few minutes of pause for lunch and coffee. These oh-so-dedicated people might sulk at the idea of siesta, but researchers recommend that people lose alertness around midday causing them to feel tired and sleepy because their biological clock reminds them to take some rest. Taking siesta would encourage the body to run again normally. Maybe, the Spaniards recognized it all along.

I zealously despised taking naps when I was a kid. But I positively do want to test it now.
