Oh yeah, I love the siesta. On my days off, if I'm at home after lunch, I'll take a nap. It's even better on cloudy, overcast, cold, winter days.

Que lengua más bonita! Muchas gracias por sus vidéos!

soy de Colombia, pero tambien se da en mi pais jajaja creo que esta en la sangre por historia, y realmente siempre que puedo, es algo que se da, en mi casa, todos se acuestan y si alguien hace ruido en esos 40 minutos o 1 hora se enojan, es un tema interesante.

Igual en mi familia en México se da, sobre todo previo o después de comer para reponerse de una jornada laboral pesada, en lo personal no la tomo porque luego no concilio el sueño en la noche pero si se que es común

The Siesta tradition is good in Mexico 🇲🇽 during the heat of the day. That's why this cultural practice produces a culture not so brusk and in a hurry. This same culture is also heavily influenced in Southern Arizona Tucson.

Luego mis estudiantes piensan que dormimos en el trabajo.... Hay que especificar que no es diferente a nap. No una tradición diaria, a no ser que estés jubilado, estudiante, o de vacaciones.

La cabezada es buena para ti y es un hecho cientifico

Those people are up so late, they don't get enough sleep at night.

I can understand how tired they must get.

yo duermo la siesta todo los días y vivo en los angles, California. Pero lo repento porque pierdo todo ese tiempo. mas mayor te pones mas duermes.

[arsalanm]

[ibxnnn]

[martinschonegger]

Siempre cuando estoy en España duermo la siesta de 30 minutos. En mi pais no.

[whitehorse]

As a Latin American men 1 or 1 1/2 hours have a nice music in the background

[NoirHammer]

Over here in the U.S., . good luck finding time for a nap. That's as rare as a unicorn especially if one has a full time job

[jocelynarancibia]
