Siestas (a post lunch, afternoon sleep) is widespread in tropical and sub-tropical countries where it is too hot to work in the afternoon. It is usually different for a nap; for example, in Greece people will put on their pyjamas and go to bed in the afternoon. With air conditioning becoming more widespread, people are now working through the day.
The Spaniards introduced the custom of having siestas to the Filipinos during their colonial rule. It became a regular part of the daily routine in the Philippines due to Spanish influence.
