The American Siesta

Today I read an interesting little piece in the New York times about naps.  A professor at Cornell was quoted as saying that naps should have the same status as daily exercise.  Now, in America exercising is hugely popular.  People love to exercise because it makes them feel and look good.  Well apparently napping can do the same. So I'm proposing THE AMERICAN SIESTA!

Everyday at 3 P.M. (local time) there will be siesta, a time for people who would like to nap, can nap.  There will be a break in work for 30 min at this time when employees can choose either to nap or to work through the siesta.

I cannot seem to understand how a country like Mexico does something so simple, so smart, so much better than America does.  We are failing in the nap/siesta department.

It is time for a change in American culture.  It is time for THE SIESTA!
