SocietyJapan holds first ‘competitive sleeping’ contest

Japan has staged its first competitive sleeping contest to encourage people to get more rest. At Tokyo’s “Matt Race,” dozens of participants wearing sleep trackers stretched out on comfortable mattresses Monday and competed to sleep for up to 90 minutes for a top prize worth more than two million yen ($14,000). Japan has the shortest average sleep time among OECD countries.
