Default Pukka mealtimes

The carbon unit using the name Peter H.M. Brooks in
gave utterance as follows:

Maybe. The study showed that siestas tended to reduce life
expectency.


Do not believe everything you read. The fact is that life expectAncy in
Spain is among the highest in the world; I cannot remember exactly, but I'd
say that it ranks inmediatly below Japan for women and not far for men.

I suppose that, if enough thought were put to the matter,
with hydraulic beds that gently lever you into a vertical position
over the final ten minutes of your kip this might be addressed that
way. It seems that we haven't evolved for long siestaring


We? Who is "we"? We have a long tradition of siesting, and reaching eighty
something years old is not rare in my family. Maybe I'm of a different
species: homo siestans.

Now, seriously, sleeping for a long time (more than an hour) in the
afternoon seems to be not good, but a short siesta (around half an hour) is
a great thing.
