A sleep championship was held in Seoul (3 photos)

An unusual competition took place in Seoul, the capital of South Korea. Participants competed not in speed or strength, but in their ability to get the best quality sleep during the day. The best "sleeping athlete" was determined based on medical indicators—pulse and heart rate dynamics during rest. An 80-year-old participant confidently took first place, demonstrating the most stable sleep patterns. Second place went to an office worker who regularly experiences chronic sleep deprivation due to a 3-4 hour nighttime schedule. The event was organized by the city administration, which aimed to draw attention to the problem of sleep deprivation in modern society.
