Taking daytime naps is common in Mediterranean and Asian populations. In countries like Spain, Greece, Italy, Vietnam, and China, cultural traditions of long lunch breaks often include naps.
Perhaps the most famous of all midday rests is the siesta. Derived from Latin meaning "sixth hour," the siesta is a time for people to rest and recharge in the middle of the day. Though the time varies based on location, siesta usually occurs between 2pm and 5pm, about six hours after starting the day.
Experts have concluded that napping improves alertness, cognition, short-term memory, and mood all increase with a short rest at midday.
Taking a Blog Break
I'm stepping away from my blog for a week (back on Monday Feb. 26) to take an extended - if you will - nap break from the computer.
During this time, I plan to recharge my brain batteries and to chill out when it comes to public comments and opinions.
You're invited to read my past posts on the right side of the page.
Like poetry or short stories? Buckle up and go to The Creative Chronicles of Dave Stancliff – Prose and Poetry (asitstandsblog.com)
Here's links to a column - As It Stands - that I wrote for five years for the daily newspaper The Times-Standard. Dave Stancliff – Page 7 – Times-Standard
Some topics just never go old. For example - check out Controversial Conversations About U.S. Politics while you are there.
And just for laughs go here to view the great Gary Larson's FAR SIDE comics.
As it Stands, I'll be back in a week. Peace be upon you fellow traveler.
