Here in the UK I try to find time for a siesta, mainly at the week-end though.

Why cant we have them in UK?
No, I don't.. I could never take a split shift job for that reason.

A siesta/nap would screw with my sleep schedule at night.

I do most days if I can, only because I don´t sleep much at nights. I go to bed at silly o clock only to be wide awake three hours later. By 2pm I´m ready for bed, by 5 ready for work ! I like my little snooze in the afternoons, but I don´t half have some weird dreams when kipping in the daytime.

Oh for the luxury of a siesta! But they are going out of fashion, even amongst the Spanish. For example, many government offices do not allow the long lunch breaks due to protests a year or two (or three... time flies) ago.
