afternoon nap
Post-lunch slumber
A short sleep taken during the afternoon hours, typically after lunch.
The practice goes by various names—siesta in Spanish-speaking cultures, where midday rest is traditional.
An afternoon nap refreshes without disrupting nighttime sleep: I try to keep my afternoon nap under thirty minutes.
