抛砖引玉，来一篇我的微博：

The siesta is a real institution in China. Elderly people may doze off from time to time during the day and sleep only five hours a night. Office workers often take a snooze after lunch; some even fall into deep slumber without having lunch. Nap time is scheduled in kindergartens. Indeed, there is nothing like a rest in the middle of a busy day.
