Chinese Office Workers Stimulate Shared Sleep Economy

More and more office workers in large and medium-sized cities purchase eye patches, nap pillows and other sleeping aids to get better rest during lunch breaks.


More than 820,000 nap pillows from over 500 brands could be found on an online shopping website. The monthly sales of many products, ranging from a few dozen yuan to 100 yuan, exceed 10,000.


To satisfy white-collar demand for better naps, many shared sleep cabins were put into operation in office buildings in many major cities.


Each cabin measures 1.8 meters long and 0.8 meters across, which suits adults. It is equipped with a bed, disposable bedding kits, sleep lights and free Wi-Fi.


The user can scan a QR code and enter the cabin, which charges 20 yuan per hour in the peak period from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and 12 yuan per hour off-peak. The product is now being upgraded to be safer and more user-friendly.


While many office workers went out of their way to get better rest during lunch breaks, some choose to spend nearly two hours doing recreational activities such as working out, getting facials, shopping and watching movies.


A sales manager of a beauty salon in Chaoyang District, Beijing, said their busiest business hours are lunch breaks and weekends. Customers can take a nap while getting a treatment and save time after work to spend with families, the manager said.
