LA SIESTA

from ssl4you Learn Spanish · host teresa sanchez

Después de una buena comida como la paella que preparamos en el ultimo podcast nada mejor que dormir una siesta. Puedes dormir la siesta en la cama, incluso algunos se ponen hasta el pijama pero la mayoria dormimos en el sofa normalmente con la televisión encendida o con algo de musica y nunca mas de diez o quince minutos. Mi abuelo siempre decia que tienes que dormir la siesta sosteniendo unas llaves en la mano y despertar con el ruido de las llaves cayendo al suelo, es decir no mas de diez minutos. No sólo los españoles duermen despues de comer, en los paises tropicales donde el calor reduce la actividad al mediodia la siesta es muy comun y en Taiwán y Japon algunas fabricas han creado habitaciones especiales para que los trabajadores duerman la siesta. Nuestros jefes no son tan considerados con los trabajadores pero el alcalde de una ciudad española llamada Plasencia anuncio: “Esta estrictamente prohibido hacer ruido en las calles entre las tres y las cinco de la tarde durante los meses de verano para garantizar que la gente pueda dormir la siesta”. He leido en alguna parte que la siesta es una necesidad biológica y teniendo en cuenta que personas como Napoleón, Leonardo da Vinci, Edison y Einstein dormían después de comer, no tengo ninguna duda la siesta es una buena costumbre. Siesta Alter a good lunch like the paella that we prepared in the last podcast I think that to sleep a nap (siesta) is a good idea. You can sleep a siesta in bed even some people wear their pyjamas but most of us sleep in the sofa usually with the TV or some music on and never more than 10 or 15 minutes. My grandfather always said that you have to sleep a siesta holding some keys in your hand and to wake up with the noise of the keys slipping out of your hand, that’s not more than 10 minutes. Not only Spanish people sleep after lunch, in tropical countries where the heat reduces work at midday the siesta is common and in Taiwan and Japan some offices have created special rooms for the workers to take a nap. Our bosses are not so considerate towards employees but the Major of a Spanish city called Plasencia announced “It’s strictly forbidden to make noise in the streets from three to five in the afternoon during summer to guarantee that people can sleep their siesta”. I’ve read somewhere that there is a biological need for afternoon naps and taking into account that people like Napoleon, Leonardo da Vinci, Edison and Einstein slept after lunch I have no doubts, the siesta is a good habit.
