| Day 32 |
Sleep deprivation is standard in our fast-paced and tightly scheduled society. A lack of sleep is exalted as proof of one's passion, ambition, and dedication. I, however, require eight hours of sleep to be fully functional. I loved vacationing in a country where afternoon naps are customary. Even though the tradition of the siesta has declined in Madrid, I napped every day. The afternoon sun is very hot and a nap is the perfect way to wait for the heat to break. After my afternoon naps, I visited art museums during their free hours.

This concludes my trip and my 30 day challenge. I hope the posters made you laugh or inspired you. Thanks for reading!
How many hours of sleep do you need to be fully functional, and how many hours do you actually get?
I truly think the US should implement 15-20 minute nap breaks as part of a full-time worker's day. I know I don't get enough sleep, usually 6 hours and it finally started hitting me really hard this year.
ReplyDeleteThat would be amazing if it happened.
