	Equador has had a siesta competition. Participants have to sleep as long as possible in a busy shopping area. The winner slept for 17 minutes and beat another competitor who slept for 18 minutes, because his snoring was louder!!! http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-11614399 I will admit online that I've woken myself up by my own snoring!!! I'll also admit that my family must love me 'cos we go on holiday together - and my poor 8 year old grand daughter usually ends up sleeping nearest to me!!!
