Viva la siesta !
A little introduction to the siesta
The word siesta comes from the latin “sixta” which meens “the sixth hour of the day”.
The word siesta designates any form of sleep, nap, or rest taken during daytime and especially at mid-day, the sixth hour of the day !
Life is a succession during the day of working and resting periods. It is essential to organize correctly this alternance to live happily and to improve your performance in all your activities.
Taking a siesta each day is part of our biological natural rhythms and is absolutely necessary for an optimal health and more natural lifestyle.
A five minute siesta dissolves stress, increases your physical and mental power, and generates extra time by reducing the next night’s sleep by up to two hours.
Increase your energy and creativity like Napoleon, Leonardo da Vinci, Edison, Einstein…
Bruno Comby, specialist in the micro-siesta or siesta-flash, which he practices regularly, is the author of the first book to have been published on the nap: Power Sleep prefaced by Jacques Chirac. This book explains why and how to take a nap, makes you discover the many benefits of the nap at different levels (health, creativity, efficiency, time saved, etc.) and explains how to recover all your energy in a few minutes thanks to the nap-flash.
The IBC encourages the practice of naps around the world.
The right to rest and to a reasonable limitation of working hours is moreover explicitly mentioned in the Chinese Constitution (“every worker has the right to xiu-xu” (article 49 of the Chinese Constitution), but also, in our country, in the Universal Declaration of the Human Rights and of the Citizen in article 24.
To become a real champion, train regularly in the snooze and practice our siesta exercises.
