A relaxation championship was held in Japan

Japan is one of the few countries that keeps special statistics on karoshi.

This term refers to deaths caused by overwork and stress.

Maybe that’s why such an unusual championship has emerged in the Land of the Rising Sun.

The terms of the competition are seemingly simple – to lie in a completely relaxed state for 90 minutes. Talking, laughing, sleeping – disqualification.

Participants choose to clothe that reflects their profession or position.

During this time, medical personnel monitor heart rate fluctuations and other relaxation criteria.

This year, 528 Japanese residents took part in the championship.
