Have
you ever felt that lethargy between 1 and 3 in the afternoon? If so, you are
not alone. That sleepiness, which cannot overcome even by a cup of Colombian
café, has a remedy that was given to us by the Spanish conquistadors: a siesta …
a nap.
No
doubt, it is an endangered species, and it is virtually unknown to Americans.
The
siesta if for some a symbol of laziness, especially in a world that spins at a
million miles per hours and where almost everything is operating 24 hours a
day.
Did
you know?
The
word siesta is form the Latin “sexta” for “sixth hour”, meaning six hours after
sunrise, or midday.
