An unusual “daytime sleeping championship” that captured widespread attention took place in Seoul, the capital of South Korea. The event sparked great interest among city residents, bringing hundreds of participants together.
The competition mainly featured people suffering from chronic sleep deprivation and those exhausted by the pressures of work and city life. Participants competed to achieve the most “high-quality” sleep within a set time. Judges evaluated their speed of falling asleep, sleep duration, and tranquility.
Interestingly, an octogenarian participant won the competition. They outperformed all rivals with their calm and steady sleep. Second place went to an office worker who works night shifts, standing out for their ability to fall asleep quickly due to daily fatigue.
Organizers stated that the main goal of the event is to draw attention to sleep issues in society and promote a culture of healthy rest. In recent years, insomnia has become a widespread problem, especially in large cities.
This unusual championship in Seoul has also sparked widespread discussion on social media, with many users calling it a “funny but necessary signal for modern life.”
