... so *early* as 13:00 - if I would not know that food in Spain is really
great and really much I'm afraid to starve until this time. ;-)

I guess the scheduling team is desperately waiting for *official* information
about fixed times we can not break. This are lunch, dinner and the closing
time of the venue. If it eally closes at 20:00 we most probably have to follow
the schedule mentioned below by Ana.

Ahh, finally a local who explains the concept. ;-)

Great this fits my work day quite good - I'd immediately adopt this if it has
turned out to be successful. Given the fact that many people will have a
time shift anyway I wonder whether they might adapt to this??

Uhm - as long as two breaks with some food are included ...

If you ask me this sounds kind of reasonable and I would really trust the locals
in finding a proper schedule.

Well, I do not really care for the name. For my poor perception is siesta
the time when people South of the Alps just do nothing in the afternoon. ;-)

But the option for hacking is there anyway, Given that people need some
average time to sleep why not moving this sleeping time when it is reasonable
to sleep according to the experience of locals? Is there any rule that hacking
has to happen past 12:00pm ?

That's a good hint.
Kind regards
