西班牙某市规定每天须午休3小时
A Spanish mayor has issued an official edict insisting that all those living and working in his town be allowed to take a three-hour nap every afternoon.
西班牙一位市长颁布了一个官方法令，要求所有生活工作在本市的人每天下午午休3小时。
Joan Faus Vitoria, the mayor of Ador in the province of Valencia, has formally designated the hours between 2pm and 5pm as a time for locals to take their afternoon siestas.
During the official nap time - the first of its kind to be introduced in Spain - parents have been told that children must be kept indoors and residents and tourists are instructed not to make unnecessary noise.
Mr Vitoria said the plan was introduced as a way for farm employees and manual laborers to take a break from work at a point in the day when temperatures reach their peak.
His edict states that the three-hour pause be respected by employers.
As well as allowing residents to return to their properties and spend a few hours catching up on sleep, the siesta time is also intended to bring quiet to municipality of Ador.
A key rule is that locals who choose not to spend their time sleeping are not allowed to use the siesta period to carry out work that makes any noise. Mechanics, for example, wouldn't be allowed to test cars engines in case in wakes neighbors.
Meanwhile parents have also been asked to ensure their children play indoors during the three-hour period to avoid noise travelling into open windows.
