toji loved taking naps. It was probably his favorite thing to do, you obviously being the first. The thought of coming home after a long day of work to his warm bed gave him the energy to finish the day. However, to fully enjoy his nap time, you had to be there with him. So every time he felt his eyes getting droopy, he would tug your (his) shirt and haul you off to the bedroom for a nap. Even when you were wide awake you would accept your fate so you cuddle up with him while he rested. With the way he lightly scratches your back or whispers sweet words into your ear, sleep washes over you in bliss.

Afternoon ritual.

Even in the hottest climates, the midday siesta is a disappearing habit. With globalization, people work longer hours. Air conditioning shields them from the heat. Many live in suburbs and farther away from where they work, which makes going home for a midday nap impractical.  In Crete, many people are trying to hold out against those forces. It's 2 p.m. at City Life, a gift store in Heraklion, Crete's biggest city.  "With this heat, I go home and relax a bit and get ready to come here again," says owner Alexandros Adamis as he closes up the shop. But even the Greek parliament has stepped in the way of some napping traditions. "I'm embarrassed to say it, but we're not obeying the law," says Ioannis Silikos, head of the Merchants Association, the trade group for Heraklion's small shop owners.  Two years ago, the Greek parliament passed a law requiring stores to keep uniform hours, like the newly arrived European department stores that are air-conditioned and stay open all day. The thinking was that standardized hours were more modern and would create new jobs. But in Heraklion, most stores are owned by individuals or families, and they have other priorities.  "We would like our lives to be more human-oriented," Silikos says. "We want to be able to go to the beach during these hours from 2 to 5 p.m. We don't want to just have one day when we're free, which is Sunday."
