Guest guest Posted October 3, 2004 Report Share Posted October 3, 2004 Thanks for the tips, phoebe! Again, common sense, much of what you say. There are of course many roads to a goal. I saw on TV an interesting documentary about the Spanish " siesta " , which is practiced every day at 13:00 in certain cities (i.e. Sevilla. This short sleep invigorates the population for the rest of the day, and they " can keep it going " at work til around 9 or 10 p.m, only finally going to bed at around 2.00 in the morning. It's impossible to incorporate the siesta at my lattitude, I'm afraid, and anyway, it's probably best to follow one's personal analyst's advice.

It sounds really good though; more in tune perhaps with the way the first humans distributed rest and activity? Spanish families take their siestas " all in a heap " strewn across sofas (and each other). It seems very " natural " . Whizzo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
