My day job is in a Chinese office of a multinational. After lunch, everyone takes naps. Some people even take them for an hour. From what I understand, post-lunch naps are common across the country. I think Chinese people understand siestas quite well. ;)
- tome 14y agoI'm curious: where do Chinese office workers take naps? In their chairs? Do they have beds?
- dvdhsu 14y agoOffice jobs come with a ~1.5 hour lunch break, where workers go home for a lunch and nap.

- PakG1 14y agoI have friends who have employers that have beds. In my building, everyone sleeps at their desks. Either lean back in the chair or lean forward on the desk. A lot of people also have blankets. The girls like to hug big pillows.
- Apocryphon 14y agoSkimming over the Wikipedia article on siestas, I get the distinct impression that napping is a global practice except in the Anglosphere. Anglo-American economic dominance, coupled with the fashionableness of caffeine drinks, have resulted in a disturbing decline in naps.
