The Sleep Race in Tokyo | What the Gita Says About Rest | Yug Badla Gita Nahi – Episode 15

About this video

Earlier this month in Tokyo, Japan, an unusual contest took place — the 'Matt Race.' Organized by mattress company Koala Sleep Japan, dozens of people were invited, fitted with sleep-tracking devices, and asked to nap for up to ninety minutes on mattresses in a dimly lit room. The winner was whoever fell asleep fastest and soundest. Reports say the top prize was over two million yen — about fourteen thousand dollars. The winner, who gave only the nickname 'Suimii,' said the money would go toward moving costs. Participant Chisato Honda (32) said: 'It was over in an instant. I almost wish I could have slept a little longer.' Context: Japan is described as a sleep-deprived nation. According to 2021 OECD data, Japanese people slept an average of seven hours and twenty-four minutes a day — the least of all OECD nations. (Reported figures.) In a world that glorifies nonstop hustle, what does a contest celebrating the fastest, deepest nap tell us? In this episode, Sarthi AI opens three teachings of the Gita: 1. Gita 2.69 — true wakefulness is born of rest; the one who never sleeps is never truly awake 2. Gita 3.30 — drop the fever of anxiety; exhaustion comes from fever, not from work 3. Gita 2.70 — make the mind steady like the ocean; the peaceful mind sleeps well Circumstances change — the Gita does not 🙏 🌐 https://bhaktiverse.com 🔔 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@MyBhaktiVerse 📸 Instagram: @bhaktiverse.bharat 👍 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/anitesh.shaw 💬 WhatsA
