Published Date:

Workers are being encouraged to sleep on the job as part of a campaign to import Spanish siestas to offices in the UK.
Company bosses were being urged on Tuesday to let their staff have a nap in their lunch break as part of National Siesta Day.
A spokesperson for Siesta Awareness UK said: "The main purpose of the event is to help make a short post-lunch nap acceptable in UK culture.
"The short nap is an effective tool in helping us to be more healthy, alert and productive in the afternoon.
"Potentially it can help reduce the risk of illness and accidents, relieving some pressure on the NHS. In short, it's really good for us."
The event is in its third year.
