Siesta

A siesta is a resting period after the noon meal where people have a brief rest before resuming their daily activities. In the EMPATH: The Luckiest Smurf story series, siestas usually take place in the Smurf Village following lunch, although sometimes other important matters may take precedence over siestas which require every Smurf's participation. Empath came to enjoy siestas when he was visiting the Smurf Village, although in later years because of his role as the assistant counselor, he would prefer something a bit more productive such as conducting counseling sessions with individual Smurfs during this period.
