When I visit Spain (usually in September) the hardest thing to do is get into the siesta timing. Even when we are totally relaxed and in the groove, I still can't get the hang of it. We usually end up doing our siesta between 17:00 and 20:00, which is when the locals are all out and about again. But here in Holland, that's dinner time - so we try to nap through our hunger pangs because NOBODY with any style will eat dinner before 21:00! “siesta can leave you feeling heavy and slightly disorientated”

By fear of religious discrimination you should be able to get away with it !!!!!!!!!
