Verb
sestear (first-person singular present sesteo, first-person singular preterite sesteé, past participle sesteado)
- (intransitive) to nap, to have a siesta
- 2016 October 30, “Napflix, la plataforma de vídeos que te hará roncar en la siesta”, in El Periódico[1]:
- La "exitosa web española" -titular de la BBC- con 'youtubes' para sestear surgió de la cabeza de dos jóvenes publicistas, Víctor de Tena y Franc Bonet, devotos de echar una cabezadita siempre que se puede y defensores de la idea de que esta costumbre tan mediterránea debería "implementarse hasta en el trabajo".
