A mid-day nap is common in many warm countries, where post-lunch drowsiness is aggravated by the searing afternoon heat. While the term is Spanish in origin, the phenomenon can be observed worldwide, from Greece to Japan, where it is more commonly referred to as a "power nap"

The question then is, given the benefits of an afternoon nap (greater alertness, increased mental capacity etc.), why do Singaporean establishments still remain adamant in the adoption of such a measure? Is it the pursuit of productivity? That argument however falls flat, given the benefits of a power nap, which, when employed correctly, should produce even better results.

I don't quite know, but I remain hopeful that Singapore will one day shift away from its soulless pragmatism and be a bit more empathetic of the needs of the human spirit.

Does this rant even make any sense?
