It's time to normalise the siesta in every nation. They way to do it is by starting small. Installing sleeping pods throughout Australian universities would enable students to recharge themselves in a healthy manner and influence others around them to do the same. Too many universities and companies perceive 'napping as slacking', and as a result sleep is not placed as a top priority among students and workers. Taking a 15-20min afternoon nap not only reduces the risk of diabetes and heart disease, but maintains concentration and alterness levels up to three hours afterwards - making workers/studiers 100x more productive.
