مغبّة القيلولة

Arabic to English Art/Literary Poetry & Literature
Hi everyone,

Does this mean, the 'depths of my nap?'

كنتُ أبدو حقاً كمتشرّد، لذلك لم يتحدّث أحد معي طيلة الوقت، لم يحاول إنسان إيقاظي في مغبّة القيلولة.

So no one tried to wake me from the depths of my nap?

Thank you!

Nap is a short sleep taken during the day. Naps are usually brief, lasting anywhere from a few minutes to around an hour, while slumber refers to a longer, deeper period of sleep, often associated with nighttime rest. It implies a more extended and substantial sleep, typically lasting for several hours.

The context implies that the homeless man was sleeping during the day.

And of course for a short period.

Siesta also is another synonym for قيلولة . It is a common practice in hot countries like Spain and Latin America as it is often taken in the early afternoon where people rest and recharge during the hottest part of the day.
