La consigna es simple, a mitad del día, cuando ya no queremos saber más nada con la oficina y con nadie en este mundo, seguimos los siguientes pasos:CaféInmediatamente después de tomarlo, dormir 15 minutos de siestaLa explicación es que en esos 15 minutos, el café viaja por nuestro intestino y, cuando nos despertamos, nos hace efecto, viene a ser como un turbo. Tampoco hace falta dormirse de
Dedicado a Antiqva Hoy Publio Ovidio ha tratado de desnudarme a plena luz del día. Según él, nuestros cuerpos están hechos para ser contemplados y los dioses no pueden aprobar en modo alguno que los ocultemos. Le he manifestado mi vergüenza, y creo, incluso, que mis mejillas se han puesto más rojas que si hubiera bebido una copa de vino sin agua. “Mira la Venus que esculpió Praxíteles”
El poeta Ovidio se tiende sobre el lecho para descansar a la hora de la siesta un caluroso día de verano. Y esto es lo que ocurre cuando hasta su cuarto llega su amada:“He aquí que llega Corina, vestida con una túnica sin ceñir, su cabellera peinada en dos mitades cubriéndole el blanco cuello (…)Le arranqué la túnica, aunque por lo fina que era apenas suponía estorbo; ella sin embargo
Los bebés recién nacidos toman siestas a lo largo del día sin ningún horario específico. Pero, los bebés más grandecitos, usualmente, ya duermen por más tiempo en las noches, sin interrupciones, y toman dos siestas durante el día. Debería haber un horario programado para esas dos siestas, por ejemplo, 10:00 A.M y 2:00 P.M. Es importante tratar que tu pequeño tome las siestas a las misma
No doubt you girls have seen recaps of Siesta Mama's message all over the place, but it would be neglectful, and lo even shameful, for me to post picture after picture of all the wonderful girls with whom I shared the weekend and not mention my Jesus who was the highlight of the whole thing.Beth's message was based on Psalm 16 and I can honestly say I will never read it the same way again. She spo
A few months before the Fiesta, Patty asked me if I would be willing to help her out with with all she and Kim had to do at the event. After praying about it for a nanosecond, I threw myself at her feet as a willing slave. And Patty, just so you know, even though you've released me I do not want to leave you. Get out the awl and pierce my ear, girlfriend. I'm yours for the next get together whethe

This is not the first time I decided to get a figure that I had previously dropped from my shopping list. Siesta is from the anime Zero no Tsukaima. One of the better reasons I wanted her so badly is because I couldn’t resist her moe look after looking at her released figure photo.

I am so excited they've done this so we can get an idea of who to look for and what to look forward to when we get there!

Der Samstag hat sich in Berlin immer mehr zu einem Tag entwickelt, an dem halb Berlin unterwegs ist, um seine Wochenendeinkäufe zu erledigen. Die einen fahren in die grossen Einkaufszentren, die am Rande der Stadt aus dem Boden geschossen sind. Die anderen gehen wie eh und je in die Supermärkte in der Stadt. Und eine kleine beharrliche Gruppe kombiniert das Notwendige zusammen mit dem Laissez

www.dailyindia.comA new study has found that expecting an afternoon nap could reduce blood pressure, consequently cutting down the risk of heart attacks.Researchers at the Liverpool John Moores University in Liverpool, U.K., have discovered that the time just before one falls asleep in the afternoon is the most beneficial in reducing blood pressure and lessening the risk of cardiovascular diseases.Afternoon naps, or siestas are typically short naps or rest periods of no more than an hour that are taken in the afternoon.While earlier studies on siestas have found that this practice may slightly increase the risk of heart attack, the new study has shown an inverse relationship between siesta taking and fatal heart attacks. According to the researchers, change in blood pressure is the key factor linking afternoon naps to cardiovascular function. Some researchers hypothesize that the lower blood pressure reduces strain on the heart and decreases the risk of a fatal heart attack.The current

If you are anything like me you are probably prone to the afternoon slump. You know, that overwhelming lethargic feeling that sets right after lunch. This postprandial dip as it is known, occurs after eating, when your blood sugar levels take a nose dive causing your body temperature to drop and leaving you feeling sleepy. Here in Spain the siesta is a cultural icon. As any full-blooded Spanish person will tell you there is a right way and a wrong way to take a siesta. Firstly, it should never last more than an hour. Ideally, you should be clocking in at somewhere between fifteen and forty minutes. If you oversleep a siesta you will wake up feeling disoriented and will most likely have problems falling asleep later on that night. The magic time of the day to take a siesta seems to be betwe

Twenty eight degrees in the shade before the kid's summer vacation has even begun. Pretty hot for Sweden. We have long days in the summer up in Scandinavia, maybe we ought to start taking siestas to cope with these high temperatures.
click picture to enlargeOur friendly Picasso Bug is seen again interrupting a pleasant siesta. He won't understand why he won't be welcome if the field workers wake up. Original scratchboard etching inspired by the 1919 pencil drawing of the Master.The Picasso Bug is an actual insect that lives in Africa. His colorful form and unique name inspired this series. The original 1919 work of the Master was a pencil drawing and I have taken the opportunity to explore the textures and my colors, the bug and the wheat in the background as a way to express the series.Pablo Picasso's Les Moissonneurs (the Harvesters) , indicative of Picasso's new direction, is a near reduction to pure contour used to create volume. The thickness of the hands and the sleepy quality of the figures cause one to think of weighty, unmoving, ancient statuary. Even with the balance and finish in this drawing, the work is recognized as a study for a painting at the Museum of Modern Art (MOMA), called Sleeping Peasan

Getting any form of sleep or shuteye even for just an hour will already have an impact towards how a person can be able to go through a day. Some may call it an act of laziness while others may attribute it towards the lack of sleep owing to the preferred lifestyle that a person would be living. But in all, siestas would be something that people would regularly want to enjoy, especially in the afternoons and regardless if they are working or not.
Siestas should not be typified to long sleeping breaks to which people need to recharge their bodies of energy needed. Some would consider siestas only if they would have the time for it. Housewives or people who would find themselves in the wall of their homes can enjoy such at any time of their preference.
For people at work however, the need to take such siestas is limited towards allowed breaks such as lunch breaks. Other than this, they have to find some ways to keep themselves up and about.

Recuerdo claramente la mañana que llegamos a Nairobi. Toda la noche en el avión y no pude dormir ni una hora. En fin, nos dividieron en grupos dependiendo de la ruta que tenÃa cada pareja y despues en furgonetas. La nuestra tenÃa asientos para siete y entramos cinco. Asà que nos pusimos cómodos con la ilusión por ver los primeros detalles de Kenia desde el coche. Nos dirigÃamos al Parque Nacional de Amboseli, muy cerca de la frontera con Tanzania. Las ganas por darnos un baño y ver una cama se disiparon cuando Wilson, nuestro guÃa y conductor, nos dijo que llegarÃamos sobre las siete de la tarde, eran las nueve y media de la mañana. Al final, el cansancio venció a la ilusión y emoción. Y como decÃa mi abuelo, "lo mejor para dormir es tener sueñoâ€, y asà fue.Al despertarme me dolÃa todo el cuerpo, el cuello, las rodillas. Pero todo desapareció cuando entramos en el Parque. SerÃan las cuatro y media, y estábamos deseando de ver animales. Ese era el motivo de nue
