A rest or sleep after a midday meal (6)

I believe the answer is:

siesta

(Other definitions for siesta that I've seen before include "Afternoon relaxation" , "Catnap" , "Spanish afternoon activity" , "An afternoon nap in Spain" , "Daytime nap" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
