[Deborah-W25780]

I lived near the equator for 10 years and found people to be productive and hard-working. In many Latin American countries, people take a long break in the middle of the day to enjoy a relaxing lunch. The custom is built into their systems, and no one seems willing to change it at this point to conform to the Protestant work ethic (would you?). Modern Latins don’t hang in hammocks or shun the sun at midday. They eat, shop, nap, and even WORK! Besides, there is a growing school of thought that Americans would do well by following the ‘siesta model.’ Turns out that a short midday nap can be refreshing and be good for your health and long-term well-being. Perhaps it would end road rage, bigotry, workaholism, and some of the other ills of our ‘advanced’ society.
