26、The siesta competition took place in a supermarket, with plenty of shoppers, screaming babies, talking voices, and footsteps to take the competitors' attention away from their after-lunch sleeps.

Five bright blue sofas were laid out, and five competitors at a time were allowed to take a 20-minute sleep. A doctor tested their pulse (脉搏) to time how long they actually spent on sleep. Competitors earned extra points for snoring (打鼾), sleeping in strange positions, or wearing silly pajamas. The winners of each round move to the next stage in the competition.

It’s amazing that any of those people would fall asleep in the middle of such a busy place, while on couches that they are not used to. Yet, many of them did. They hugged pillows or soft toy bears. They covered their eyes with sleep masks, too, whatever it took to help them fall asleep fast and stay asleep.

The National Association of Friends of the Siesta wants to bring Spain back to their traditional roots. They are doing this by having the siesta competition. They set up the competition to reward the best sleepers with money. Actually, they were paid to sleep.

There are really health benefits to a mid-day nap. We could all learn from this tradition. It’s a much better way to get more energy than drinking a cup of coffee. It is also believed that a nap, and in fact a good night's sleep, can help reduce heart disease. The more rested we are, the less stress we feel with day-to-day life.
