This is how the world sleeps

The Japanese are less demanding when it comes to selecting their sleeping spots. They sleep less during the night than Europeans do as well. But they also have a different attitude when it comes to sleep. In Tokyo, lack of sleep and chronic fatigue is part of every day life. However, the Japanese tend to take naps more often during the day: in the subway, in the office, in school.

How tired are Japanese office workers, students and young parents? What do they need in order to sleep well? We visit one of the best futon masters in Japan, accompany young Tokyoites to a capsule hotel and let people show us where one can sleep for less than 10 Euro in the middle of Tokyo.
