Nap Time at School

When I came to Japan from Taiwan,/I was impressed/that schools resumed classes/right after the lunch break.//
In fact,/it is customary to take an afternoon nap/in Taiwan.//
This custom is practiced/even in companies and schools.//
In my high school in Taiwan,/we have a 30-minute break/between lunch and afternoon classes.//
During this period,/everyone is encouraged/to take a short nap.//
Even if you don’t feel sleepy,/at least you have to lay your head on the desk/and try to relax.//
The custom is based on oriental medicine.//
It is believed/that sleeping twice a day/is essential for your health.//
It is also said/that a short nap after lunch/leads to high productivity/for the rest of the day.//
However,/some people believe/that schools should not force students/to take a nap.//
What do you think about having a nap time/at school?//
Do you think/Japanese schools should adopt this system?//
