		<description>Ha ! Not a chance, Dennis ! That is where all the fun starts. Actually I am not sure what the origins would be for the siesta here in Spain, but one thing for sure is that for quite some time now people have made use of that time to do other stuff, not very much related to work, during the midday, and then towards the early afternoon head over to the office till the rest of the day is finished. 
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
However, I must say that things may be changing a little bit now because more and more companies are actually encouraging employees to start working earlier in the morning with a shorter break for lunch and therefore the subsequent siesta and then they would leave home earlier as well, which means they would be able to get their share of the siesta without having to return back to work. Interesting concept that I am not sure how it would work in the end. I know, for instance, that is how most European countries operate, but we will have to wait and see if Spaniards would be able to adapt to that schedule or rather stick with those extended siesta breaks to then finish off their work day very late in the evening, contrary to what happens in whatever other European countries.
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Either way, thanks again for the feedback comments and for dropping by !</description>

		<description>[...] However, what struck me the most was one of the very last weblog posts she has created around the subject of How to Prevent Burnout. While reading through it I just couldn&#8217;t help nodding about some of the great tips she has shared over there regarding how you can avoid reaching beyond the stage of burnout. In particular the one on taking a 20 minute nap throughout the day. Reason why I have enjoyed that particular tip is because it reminded of a weblog post I created some time ago around the same subject: Power Napping for Improved Productivity, where I referenced Power Napping for Increased Productivity, Stress Management and Health by Elizabeth Scott.
