Workers are being urged to sleep on the job as part of a campaign to import Spanish siestas to offices in the UK.
Company bosses are being encouraged to let their staff have a nap in their lunch break as part of National Siesta Day. A spokesperson for Siesta Awareness UK said: "The main purpose of the event is to help make a short post-lunch nap acceptable in UK culture.
"The short nap is an effective tool in helping us to be more healthy, alert and productive in the afternoon."

its a fact taking a nap helps u out the rest of the day one-half an hour gives you energy. usa needs to initiate this into their workday, their lives are too hectic and we are sleep deprived which doesnt help.SO TAKE A SNOOZE ITS GOOD 4 U!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Siestas are actually very practical in hot areas like California and Mexico. Sleep through the hottest part of the day.

Don't blame America; when you think about it, it initially seems counter productive. While it's proven, it's still a "new" idea, and companies, especially the service industry, lack the workforce to implement this.
Imagine you're at a restaurant...
The chef's asleep...-

Great idea. I'm going to lock my office door and lay down under my desk. Can one of you wake me up in 30 minutes?

Sounds like a great idea--we should try it in the US!
