Daily black outs

I always wondered, how can the Spanish take siestas in the middle of the day when it's so bright outside. Question answered. One of the things I will miss about Spain are the windows.

First off, the windows have three separate settings. One, closed, duh. Two, the window will open inward like a door. Three, only the top part will open inward leaving a crack to let air in and keep rain out.

However, the best part of the windows are the black out screens. It could be 2 pm with the sun bursting through your window, but with one pull of a string you can have absolute darkness. 



Siesta mystery solved. Now for my follow up quetsion... how do they have the will-power to get themselves back up?
