Concurs de dormit organizat în Japonia / ”Putem încuraja oamenii să doarmă împreună şi să trezim un interes mai mare pentru somn”

In Japan, a unique competition called "Matt Race" was held, where participants competed to sleep the best. Equipped with sensors, they had to sleep for up to 90 minutes on comfortable mattresses. The winner received a prize of over 2 million yen (approximately 11,000 euros). The event aimed to raise awareness about the importance of sleep in a country known for its long working hours and limited sleep. The average sleep duration for Japanese people is less than in other OECD countries, highlighting a need for better sleep habits. The winner expressed plans to use the prize money for moving into a new apartment and buying a nice bed.
