Tokyo Big on Power Naps
Tokyo…where commutes are long and work often stretches across the weekends. Twelve hour days? Everybody’s doing it. And sometimes death comes knocking. The Japanese call it…Karoshi…death from overwork…claiming roughly 150 lives a year. So the Japanese are embracing a new cure for stress that’s really a very old idea…that’s right, the nap…just like in kindergarten.
Welcome to the Napia salon in downtown Tokyo, where for about SEVEN bucks the harried can buy 20 minutes of peace and quiet and ease the stress of the day even if it’s on the sly.
