If you're outing drinking, and happen to catch the last train, you'll see many of these wonderful amazing creatures. It does not matter what day of the week it is, even Sundays, they pop up all over the city. All oyasumi'd and napping. All super cute, and probably drunk as hell.
In Japan, the practice of napping in public, called inemuri (居眠り, lit. "present while sleeping"), may occur in work meetings or classes. Brigitte Steger, a scholar who focuses on Japanese culture, writes that sleeping at work is considered a sign of dedication to the job, such that one has stayed up late doing work or worked to the point of complete exhaustion, and may therefore be excusable.
It's most common on trains, for those who actually managed to catch the last train. Some are of course sleeping since they've been working hard and are exhausted, but most of these loving creatures are just fucked up drunk, and pass out from that. I can respect that.
There's a lot of accounts on the instagrams that document this phenomenon, but my favourite so far is Inemuri Life, mostly since it's an account I run. 😉
