The Origin of the Competition.
The National Siesta Championship was first held in 2010 as a way to promote the health benefits of napping. The idea behind the competition is to encourage people to take naps, which are known to improve metabolism, memory, and overall well-being. The event is held in a busy shopping mall in Madrid, adding an extra layer of challenge for participants.
How the Competition Works
Participants are required to fall into a deep sleep within a designated time frame, usually around 20 minutes. They are judged on several factors, including the speed at which they fall asleep, their sleeping posture, snoring, and the overall quality of their nap. Contestants are connected to pulse monitors to ensure they are genuinely asleep and not just pretending.
