HKA survey conducted by the China Sleep Research Society indicates that 72% of Chinese individuals enjoy an afternoon nap lasting at least 30 minutes. This practice is rooted in traditional Chinese medicine, specifically the Huangdi Neijing, an ancient medical text dating back approximately 2,000 years. The text recommends sleeping during the Zi hour (11pm to 1am) and taking a brief nap during the Wu hour (11am to 1pm), aligning with the peak of yang energy according to TCM principles. The cultural significance of napping persists despite modern work pressures in China.
