The Siesta Law Nobody Obeys
Israel has rest hours written into law — 2 to 4 PM, noise restricted, on the books since 1961 — and almost nobody observes them. Where did the siesta actually come from (not Spain, it turns out), why has Spain itself largely given it up, and which countries are building nap infrastructure today? From Charlemagne's three-hour midday rest to China's office nap beds to Japan's lavender-scented nap rooms, this episode traces how the afternoon nap moved, mutated, and survived — just not where you'd expect.
