Sleeping in Public

Koreans are notorious for overworking.  Students will commonly go to school to language academies to math academies to private lessons from 7 or 8 a.m. until 10 or 11 p.m. six days a week.  Businessmen routinely work late and then have “meetings” at the local bar with their bosses and co-workers until midnight or later.  Korea is a very late-night culture.

With everyone burning the candle on both ends, it is no surprise that you will see Koreans sleeping every chance they get.  They sleep everywhere.  And not just a little nodding off.  I’m talking mouth open, body splayed awkwardly, drool pooling sleep.  Maybe they’re more trusting of those around them, or maybe they’re just that tired.
