Napping 4.0

Napping was one of my favorite things to do in college. I would sit in class, counting down the minutes until I could go home and snuggle under my plush comforter. In Shanghai, I inevitably end up falling asleep, cat on my lap, whenever I attempt to do my Chinese homework. No matter the circumstance, napping for me conjures up images that involve the words warm, soft, and comfortable.

But in China, hard, metal, and thong will apparently do the trick.

Napping Bonanza

You all know I find the ability of Chinese people to nap anywhere a rather enviable skill. So I was beyond thrilled when our friend Tom emailed me these spectacular photos from his recent business trip to Guangdong. Seriously. I wish I had been there to witness this napping in all its glory.

First up, we have some table napping.

Followed by table napping with cardboard pillows.

And don't forget that your hat doubles as an eye mask!

 

You can also nap with the products you are making...

... or ON the products you are making!

Perhaps between them is the way to go.

 But my favorite has to be this guy who decided to nap INSIDE the refrigerator.

 

 Let's go in for a closer look.

 Amazing. Simply amazing.
