Time For a Siesta

This just in:
Do holidays make you tired? Well then Spain's"National Siesta Day" is right for you! NSD was founded to raise awareness about the countries dwindling partakers of the after lunch snooze. There was even a competition, complete with a 1000 euro prize for the best power napper, held in Madrid over the weekend. Each contestant had 20 minutes sleep and loud snorers earned extra points, although it is unclear why that was part of the judging critera.
The winner of the 2010 competition was 60-something, unemployed security guard from Ecuador who credited his victory to the enormous lunch he had eaten beforehand which gave him the energy...or lack thereof, to nap his way to the top. For more see the article yourself.
