siesta time
Explanation:
According to my good Merrian Webster a nap is "a short sleep, especially during the day; snooze". The word siesta is also listed in the dictionary, and it reads: "an afternoon nap or rest". It is customary in hot climates to take a siesta. Actually in the north of Argentina it's not only customary, it is a must. I remember once I was selling some stuff from town to town. I had just finished my lunch and intended to while away the afternoon in some cool bar watching a movie or something sheltered from the unrelenting summer sun, and then to continue working when the stores opened again in the evening. But to my surprise all the bars started to close too: everyone went in for their due siesta time, and I was left out there in a dusty square, regretting not to have rented a room in a hotel for my siesta too.
