alt Hacker NewsWhat I find bizarre is the word "siesta" doesn't appear in this article.
People have been working around the hot summer hours in Southern Europe for centuries. Until recent times it was part of the culture.

It's part of the culture where I live, but the heat keeps increasing. 45 in dry heat (unless you work outside) is fine if you get cooler nights to recover, but when you don't get a break, it's lethal. Also aircon helps you but adds significantly to the heat outside in urban areas, causing what feels like a vicious circle. Anyway, where I live aircon is not common and electricity costs are high.
