Here’s a fun article on ‘inemuri’ that I wrote back in 2013 but decided to spruce up a bit.

‘Inemuri’ if you don’t already know translates to “sleeping while present.”

It’s essentially the Japanese custom of sleeping on the job – but the deliberate kind – like you see with CEOs and politicians on TV, or your boss at work, or the super intendant at your school during opening or closing ceremonies, sports days, or any other day for that matter.
