Siesta

Like many countries around the world, afternoons are break time and little activity actually goes on then. Post offices, medical clinics, small shops, and small restaurants are closed during this time. Here in Mumbai, manual laborers, all of whom are men, take a nap wherever is most convenient. This is usually on a quiet street, maybe underneath a tree, and if not, under some newspapers as seen in this pic. I think naptime is generally an hour or two. What do you think? Would naptime work in the West?
