There are also lots of cultures who had long rest breaks right after lunch, which have been getting eroded by global capitalism for a while now. But days off are much more valuable with the alienation from labour because now we spend most of our time selling labour force, and then have our free time dedicated to equally hard but unpaid household labour.
