Japan is hosting a competitive sleeping tournament on October 5, 2026, where contestants will battle it out in a 90-minute sleep competition for a top prize of Β₯2.22 million (around Β£10k).
Participants will be monitored for sleep depth, overall quality, stability and how quickly they drift off. But thereβs a catch: organisers plan to introduce unexpected disturbances to test whether contestants can stay asleep.
