[Alex29024]

This is a myth developed as a result of Spanish colonization. The siesta is a Spanish cultural legacy that was imported to their South American colonies and fit right in with native practices – taking a break in the middle of the day makes a great deal of sense when you’re in a tropical region. Furthermore, working at a back-breaking pace was a sure ticket to sun stroke or heat exhaustion, so workers tended to proceed slowly but steadily. The result is that visitors saw natives who (gasp) weren’t in constant motion and concluded that they were lazy. While the siesta is of questionable necessity in the United States, it is a cultural legacy of many people from South American and tropical cultures.
