Question

hat theory suggests that the Spanish siesta comes from the Spanish Civil War?

The siesta allowed citizens to forget about the war; they also frequently had parties during this time.

The economy required many people to work multiple jobs, and the siesta was a break between jobs.

Citizens were not allowed on the streets during the war, so many people chose this time to take a nap.

Soldiers did not want to fight during the hottest part of the day, so they rested for a few hours.

Answer 1

Option 3: "Citizens were not allowed on the streets during the war, so many people chose this time to take a nap."

Note: that idea is a folk/retroactive explanation. The siesta actually long predates the Spanish Civil War — the word comes from Latin sexta (the sixth hour) and the practice developed from agrarian schedules and adapting work to hot climates. The Civil War story is a later anecdote, not the historical origin.
