Japan Public Sleeping

Quiz time. This man is...
-Dead -Depressed that could not get hold of his limited edition Bukkake Lyric
-Just used his Bukkake Lyric and is feeling sleepy after (liquid on the floor next to him is not water)

One thing that I never saw when living in London or Seattle - people sleeping in public. My guess is either because of the fear of waking up to find all their belongings going missing - or because people just aren't that tired enough to sleep in public. Its very likely that when you visit Japan that you will see these tired beings lying around here n there.

Update: Apologies to JJ San for using his photos - I will remove them as soon as I fix the rest of the server.
These are mixed with photos taken by Hector, JJ San and by this search query at Flickr.
Oh, and if you are eating breakfast/dinner - and especially if its curry/porridge/stew/mash potatoes - then don't look at the last photo.

More life in Japan in the weekly A Week in Tokyo series.

If you are interested in reading about life in Japan, seeing photos taken daily around Tokyo, like Japanese subculture (anime, manga, figures, Dollfies) then you may want to start delving into the Japan or Figure categories for a start or have a gander at all photo articles.

If you don't have much time now, maybe subscribe to the RSS Feed, Twitter Feed or join the other readers in the FaceBook Page.
Alternatively, you may want to read more about the site.
If you are a regular reader then this message will probably annoy you each time - hide it forever.

    You know whats creepy. I was eating breakfast when I came across this...

    "Oh, and if you are eating breakfast/dinner - and especially if its curry/porridge/stew/mash potatoes - then don't look at the last photo."

    the thing is, why did I scroll down to the last image then?

    Hey, eave the sleeping people alone! I'm one of them. lol

    When you have the time and money to go to Japan, you'd be sleepy all day from partying all night! I made it the time of my life, that's for damn sure.

    Sleeping like this is a certified way of getting mugged...at least here anyway. Some of these are understandable like on the train but others were a little bold. Crime must be very low in Japan is what I am thinking according to some of the locations these people pass out at. The last one looks disgusting, did he go to sleep and end up having someone throw up on him??

    I once saw a lady sleeping on the floor in the void deck of a block of flats. The only thing that kept me from going closer was that she had her back propped against the wall, unlike some of those in the pics who looked as though they were pistol-whipped from the back by the Master Chief. XD

    Actually, this DOES happen in America, though I guess only in a few places. My university is unique in the sense that the student unions and many of the academic buildings have couches and armchairs, sometimes whole areas of them. Roughly half of the second floor of the main union is couches. Just walking through these areas every day, you see loads of people sleeping sprawled across these couches, sometimes having pulled multiple chairs together.

    It took me a while to realize that this wasn't something that happened everywhere.

    Ok, those are f'n funny as hell images. In America, you'd see the same, but they'd be dirty more or less and probably soaked in pee. I recall that while social decorum is paramount in Japan, all bets are off if you get totally rip roaring drunk and take a nap outside. This is usually preceded by a fist fight with a similarly drunken co-worker you may have disagreed with. Japan is cool that way, men can still be men and no one minds.

    As for the US, I tend to notice that public sleeping is more common in larger cities-- Orlando, Los Angeles, Atlanta, etc. I'm originally from a smaller town that isn't anywhere near as developed as those places. If I were to sleep in public at my hometown, I'd have a cop taking me in for either loitering, trespassing, or suspected public intoxication.

    However, as a student at a major university, I see it on a daily basis... Heck, in fact, there's someone right now sleeping on the floor 3m from me with his shoes off.
