Siesta Championship - We Have A Winner!

Pedro Soria Lopez

Everyone is good at something! We congratulate 62 year old Pedro Soria Lopez of Ecuador for winning the first Siesta Championship at a Madrid Mall.

The competition lasted several days as 360 participants attempted to sleep their way to the $1,400 grand prize. Lopez, an out-of-work security guard, slept in a noisy mall for 17 minutes, beating out an 18 minute sleeper. You see, Lopez snored at 40 decibels, giving him an edge. Contestants were also graded on pajama attire and sleeping position.

The contest was designed to revive the Siesta practice in a modern world, and to bring shoppers to the mall!
