SIESTA TIME
|
SIESTA TIME    The mayor of Ador, a small Spanish town near Valencia, recently passed a law introducing an official siesta slot in the afternoons during the hot summer months. In Ador, between 2pm and 5pm, are banned from playing outside, music must be played quietly and televisions must be turned down so that adults can have an afternoon snooze. The town’s police are on standby to quietly enforce this law! Many Spanish people, concerned about the encroaching time demands of modern life, are very protective of their siestas. There is even a National Association of the Friends of the Siesta established to promote the siesta in Spain. I’ve noticed recently that I get quite sleepy in the early afternoons and, if I’m working from home, I often retire to the bedroom for a little siesta. Rather than seeing it as a step closer to my deathbed, I prefer to see it as a power nap. Do you ever take a short nap in the day? Have you ever fallen asleep at work? How well do you sleep at night? The Spanish Society of Primary Care Physicians found that a snooze can boost energy, alertness, memory, creativity and productivity, but a nap lasting more than 30 minutes can cause grogginess and lead to problems in sleeping at night. The Society recommended that a daytime snooze is best not taken in a bed. This research was supported by a recent study carried out by NASA, the American space agency. NASA found that 26 minutes is the optimum length of time for a nap; it found that efficiency increased by 34 per cent after this optimal nap. I now think taking a siesta should be compulsory for everyone; it's a human right!     |

Do you ever take a short nap in the day? Occasionally- but it often leaves me feeling a bit dazed and groggy. Have you ever fallen asleep at work? I was a truck driver, Spunky! Of course I fell asleep at work! Once, on US 2 in northern Minnesota, I woke up off the right side of the road with the driver behind me blowing his air horn, flashing his lights and my tractor jumping ruts and plowing snow. That scared me! How well do you sleep at night? Like a rock, I was strong as I could be Like a rock, nothin' ever got to me Like a rock, I was something to see Like a rock In other words, fairly soundly.

I know that naps would be good for me, but I'm not very good at taking them. I have memories of "siesta time" from my trip to Panama. There it was from about noon until 2pm. The entire nation would get quite!  It's a great way to get through the heat of the day.  In my current occupation I am very careful to not work when I am tired.  But when I was a teenager I worked a 16hr shift at a telemarketing company, and got paid "triple time" because it was Easter. .. I slept through 8 hours of it!  (My job for that shift was to watch a bank of answering machines that weren't going to be doing anything anyway, and I had been left unsupervised.)

I rarely take a day time nap as I find it spoils my night sleeping. Sleep at work??? with Dangermouse around??? You have to be kidding! I sleep very well at night and rarely wake unless I have serious stuff on my mind. ~~Anais Nin~~

When I lived in Spain we has siesta every day. My Aunt lives in Seville and she takes siesta daily. I usually do not take naps during the day but on occasion, like yesterday, I slept for two hours. But I was still ready for bed by 9pm. One would hope a nap would allow one to stay up later. Not so in my case.

20 minutes is an ideal length of time for a nap!

You clearly have the best work perks with a cupboard and a chair. For me to get that I'd have to pretend to be seriously ill to be allowed entance into the first aid room for a bed!

I'm an eight hour person, though I'm probably not a bitch if I don't get those hours sleeping. Just grumpy!
