That is true. Spain and Italy for sure do

I would guess part of it would be tied to the history of the industrial revolution starting jn England and Germany but probably not the whole story

The reason that I am told is that it's just way to hot during the midday to do anything productive, so you just take a two hour break during the warmest part of the day. But there's probably more to it than just that.
