In a move designed to help revive the tradition of taking a nap after lunch, Spain's first national siesta championship is underway in Madrid.
Participants are monitored as they lie down for a 20-minute nap and they have pulse monitors attached to their bodies. A maximum of 20,000 points is awarded to those who manage to sleep for the full 20 minutes and sleeping fewer minutes means fewer points but judges also award marks for original sleeping positions, the loudest snore and the most eye-catching outfits.
