Seoul hosted its third annual “Power Nap Contest” at a Han River park, inviting exhausted residents to compete for the best nap as South Korea continues to grapple with chronic overwork and sleep deprivation. ⁠
⁠
Participants arrived in themed outfits ranging from Joseon Dynasty robes to koala onesies, while officials monitored heart rates to judge the deepest sleep. The winner of this year’s contest was a man in his 80s.⁠
