Check out this article--it's all about a wonderful thing called the siesta.

I can't figure out how to make a link, but you can copy and paste and get there.
The article questions why in the world Spain started having a siesta in the first place. Live in Madrid in July and August, mister. When it's so hot you can't move anyway, you might as well sleep. Maybe they just got tired of being miserable and thought they'd sleep through it. It worked for me last summer!
By the way, it's great to be back in Madrid.
