Faced with an energy crisis as the summer arrives in Japan, one prefecture is adopting a habit that was previously anathema to hard-working Japanese - the midday siesta.
The town council of Gifu, in central Japan, has decided to adopt Spanish working hours in July, August and September, Staff are being told to turn off their computers, the lights and the air conditioning and go home for a nap or leave the building to go shopping or for a walk.
Why people still think of spaniards enjoy a nap everyday?? the usual work hours are from 9am to 7pm.. with 1 hour to have lunch.. have been years since my last nap..
