2 . Welcome to the tour bus that helps you catch up on sleep. A new Hong Kong Sleeping Bus Tour is letting people get some much-needed extra sleep. The bus tour is a 76-kilometer, five hour ride around Hong Kong on a double-decker bus. Tickets for the Sleeping Bus Tour quickly sold out, passengers had to wait in the long line in front of the ticket office.

So how did the idea of the tour come out about? “When we were trying to develop new tours, I was stressed out by my work, and I couldn’t sleep at night. So I once suddenly passed out in my office because I had suffered from lack of sleep,” said Kenneth Kong of Ulu Travel, the organizer of the bus tours. “But when I was travelling on the bus, I was able to sleep well. So I create this tour that lets passengers just sleep on the bus.”

Dr. Shirley Li, who researches sleep at the University of Hong Kong, said, “People in Hong Kong don’t have enough time to sleep. Some people may tend to connect public transport with their sleep. And that’s why they found it easier to fall sleep on the bus. People can sleep on the bus at any time. So the Sleeping Bus Tour can really help them. And this tour also reminds the public about the drop in people’s healthy lifestyles.”

“I have been suffering from insomnia, so I am here to try and get some sleep. I know it is just for a moment, because I don’t want to move my comfortable bedroom into a bus and sleep in the sunshine,” said 25-year-old Anson Kong, one of the passengers on the first bus tour.
