00:38However, unlike previous years...
00:39The organizers also added a Best Costume Award this year.
00:42Many participants dressed up specially before coming here to sleep.
00:46From the Chinese film, we can see
00:48The contestants unleashed their creativity

01:04Wearing sunglasses and an eye mask
01:06Holding his own doll
01:08In broad daylight
01:09Sleeping in one
01:10The scene was spectacular.
01:12That's just
01:13What everyone looks like after taking a nap
01:15They all look the same
01:16So how do we determine that?
01:18Who is the winner?
01:19What about the organizers?
01:21It will take about an hour and a half.
01:23Analysis of the participants' sleep length and quality based on brainwaves
01:28Fruit ranking
01:29What about the staff?
01:31The heart rate of the participants will also be measured every 30 minutes.
01:34The lower the average heart rate of the participants while sleeping, the better.
01:38The more likely they are to shed the title of "King of Deep Sleep"
01:42Of course, winning the game isn't easy.
01:45The organizers will also interfere during the competition.
01:48Prepare a feather to gently tickle the back of your hand
01:51There are also two magic weapons: the buzzing sound of mosquitoes.
01:54To test the contestants' ability to get a good night's sleep
01:58The champion of this Han River Sleep Competition
02:01Ultimately, it fell into the hands of an elderly man in his eighties.
02:04A 37-year-old office worker won the runner-up position.
02:07This office worker said he goes to work every day.
02:10I often have to work night shifts, it's really tiring.
02:13Then one day he saw the announcement for this match.
02:16He decided that he absolutely had to participate in the competition.
02:19Have a good nap by the river while enjoying the breeze.
02:22To recover one's experience
02:23As for winning second place
02:25He said it was completely unexpected for him.
02:28Another woman who works in the hospital's intensive care unit said...
02:32I have spent many years helping others regain their health.
02:35And this time participating in the sleep competition
02:37I mainly wanted to buy myself a gift.
02:39That is to allow myself to have a good rest.
02:42Interviews with media at the scene
02:44The contestants were all complaining about how tired they were.
02:47And almost all of them suffer from insomnia due to overwork.
02:51Is living in South Korea really that tiring?
02:54Data shows
02:55South Korea is an economic partner
02:57That is, the most stressful work is done within the development organization.
03:01One of the member states with the most severe sleep deprivation
03:04That's for overworked Koreans
03:06Sleep can be considered a great luxury that is difficult to satisfy.
03:10Especially when they live in Seoul, a highly competitive city
03:15The metropolis where even government service centers are open 24 hours a day
03:18Therefore, the Seoul Metropolitan Government hopes that this sleep competition will be successful.
03:21Besides providing an alternative form of entertainment and leisure activities
03:24It can also convey the importance of getting enough rest to citizens.
