Adios to Prominent Spanish Ritual of Siesta

Spain will shortly bid "adios" to their century-old social routine known as siesta. While Spanish crowds absolutely enjoy a two-hour nap on a grueling day, the corporate world is trying to kick away the traditional habit in order to meet the demands of a fast-moving world. With a growing industry, the corporate giants can't afford to lose a worker on a senseless break. Whether they like it or not, crowds in Spain will be deprived of their good afternoon slumber.

Siesta in Spain is considered as a health practice and as a way to rest their stressed minds and body from long hours of work. While Spanish citizens work with so much passion, they also need to have a valuable break to regain enthusiasm they've lost during the day. But to keep up with the problems of modern times and global industries, Spanish workers need to look for another technique as a trace of their custom will soon vanish into thin air. For some globally competitve nations, siesta is a little too much to ask even if medical theories suggest that keeping your eyes shut on a midday helps cut down the risk of heart attacks and eliminates stress. Some native advocates have already filed bids to the government, asking them to lessen the required hours of work to compensate for the time lost, but until there is a clear-cut solution in meeting the gaps, Spanish natives are forced to cut down their sleeping extravagance.
