In fact, as a nationwide custom, Spaniards must nap at noon?

Spanish people are called the strange baby in the European mainland is not without reason, this is because the Spanish people work schedule and other European countries are different, the Spanish people work and rest can be regularity make it difficult for people from other countries to integrate. What is actually different?

The Spaniards eat five times a day. They eat breakfast at 6 or 7 a.m., eat bread with salami and coffee at 11 or 12 p.m., eat lunch at 3 p.m., have coffee and dessert at 7 p.m., and eat dinner at 9 p.m. On Sundays, dinner is served at the same time as the rest of the day. On Sundays, dinner can be delayed until 11 pm.

The booming number of nightclubs, beer halls and restaurants also ensures that Spaniards are able to enjoy their food anytime, anywhere. In addition to this, while many of our people in Europe have simple lunches, especially for office workers, who can spend half an hour on lunch, Spaniards can spend nearly an hour and a half, or even two hours, on lunch. A typical midday meal at a street-side restaurant can include a starter, a second plate, a dessert or a freshly brewed coffee.

In the eyes of the Spaniards, this is not luxury, just a part of daily life. But in many European countries, the city falls silent after 10 or 11 p.m., which is when most Spanish cities are bustling with people, streets and cups.

There is also the famous Spanish "siesta". Taking a nap is called "siesta" in Spanish, which is derived from the Latin word meaning "sixth hour", referring to the time between 12:00 noon and 3:00 pm.

Because Spaniards are notorious nappers, many other languages, including English, have adopted the word "siesta" to refer to the daily afternoon break. It's not just Spaniards who nap, but only Spaniards who have made it a preference, a tradition, a culture.

In Spain, the famous writer, Nobel laureate Camilo José Serra, a nap is one of the things that have to be treated well with sufficient length of time, before taking a nap need to "wear a robe, do the prayers, ready to urinate". In Spain, many companies and government departments include 2 to 4:30 p.m. as a rest period.

In Ador, a small town around Valencia, Spain's third-largest metropolis, the nap was to be enshrined in law as a basic civic right in 2015. All organizations in the town are turned off in the middle of the afternoon between 2:00 and 5:00 pm, the noise should be kept to a minimum, the children did not play outdoors, the field is also peaceful and quiet. The department called "House of Naps" holds an annual nap contest, where participants take a nap on a couch in a shopping mall city square, which is faster to the quality of sleep and the deepest sleeper wins, with the winner receiving 1,000 euros in prize money.

But in reality, Spaniards are already saying goodbye to naps. According to a recent survey, nearly 60 percent of Spaniards never take a siesta, and only 18 percent sometimes take an afternoon nap. On the other hand, Spaniards spend more time on homework than many of their European counterparts. According to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), Spaniards work 1,691 hours a year, while British workers work 1,674 hours a year and Germans 1,371 hours a year.

In recent years, companies, leading experts and politicians have made the same proposal clear - to turn lunch breaks into flexible working hours. In their opinion, it will improve productivity and daily life, and assist Spanish companies to attract talent.
