Five bright blue sofas were laid out, and five petitors at a time were allowed to take a 20minute sleep. A doctor measured their pulse to time how long they actually spent on asleep. Competitors earned extra points for snoring (打鼾), sleeping in strange positions, or wearing silly pajamas (睡衣). The winners of each round advance to the next stage in the petition. It39。s amazing that any of those people would fall asleep in the middle of such a busy place, while on couches that they are not used to. Yet, many of them did. They hugged pillows or soft toy bears. They covered their eyes with sleep masks, too. Whatever it took to help them fall asleep fast and stay asleep. The siesta is a tradition in Spain that many feel is being forgotten. It used to be that people would take a brief nap after lunch every day. This would energize them, and keep them going for the rest of the day. Not to mention the health benefits of a good nap. But, that39。s all changing. People are too busy making money or watching gossip shows on TV after lunch to care about taking a nap. The National Association of Friends of the Siesta wants to bring Spain back to their traditional roots. They are doing this by having the siesta petition. They set up the petition to reward the best sleepers with money. Actually, they were paid to sleep. There are really health benefits to a midday nap. We could all learn from this tradition. It39。s a much better way to get more energy than drinking a cup of coffee. It is also believed that a nap, and in fact a good night39。s sleep, can help reduce heart disease.

Over the last three and a half years, the antilittering woman has spent most of her free time picking up cigarette butts (煙頭) from the streets of her home city. Called the Butt Lady by her local munity, Dawly began her mission to rid the streets of her city of cigarette butts in October, 2014. The woman looked for cigarette butts, picked them up and threw them in the trash. To keep a count of how many butts she picks up, the Butt Lady has been using a tablet, and earlier this month, she hit a historic milestone—one million cigarette butts. I got tired of
