Short Bio:

Activity: The “Siesta Masiva” (Mass Nap) is a proposal that aims to make visible the Human Right to Rest, established in Article 24 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. To do this, from the Centro de Sueño y Neurociencias, in collaboration with the local authorities of Mexico City, Mexico; We made a call to invite people to take a break from their daily lives to take a “coyotito” (local way of calling for a nap).
Participants were given a rest kit that included a mask, pillow and a yoga mat to carry out the activity. The program was made up of:
– An introductory talk about the right to rest and the disparities that exist to exercise this right (economic level, working hours, geographical location, gender, age)
– A meditation class to facilitate rest.
– A 20 minute nap.
– A closing talk about World Sleep Day.
About 367 people participated (participants, facilitators, monitors and media.
Our action had great local, national and international media coverage, thus achieving the objective of disseminating actions that aim to make sleep a factor that promotes physical and mental health.
