Not sure I get the point of the author. I really like the Mediterranean schedule but it's far from "solar based" we stay up until midnight normally.
I like it from a different point of view, which is that stores are opened after I finish working. The average worker doesn't have time for a siesta in the middle of the day. But once you finish working at 5, things are still open. You can go to the dentist, you can go shopping, restaurants close at midnight, etc.
It's way more flexible for me (way less flexible for service workers though). I moved to the US and I have to take time off of work to even get a haircut...
- stavros 5mo agoHe's saying it was solar-based up until a hundred years ago or so, no?
- timerol 5mo agoIt's an odd article, because it claims that shops being open until 10pm (after a siesta break) is the solar-based schedule
- druskacik 5mo agoTime off of work to get a haircut is insane. Aren't there barbershops open in the evening?
- gonzalohm 5mo agoThe two I like close at 5pm. I live in a rural-ish area. I don't really take time off, I just start working earlier and finish earlier that day. But still, in Spain, even the store in the tiniest town opens at least until 8-9
