Under normal circumstances，falling asleep during a paid tour is a waste of money or an offense to your guide at worst.But that's not the case with this new experience coming out of Hong Kong.As its name suggests，the Sleeping Bus Tour is designed to help passengers catch some sleep，and rides are already selling out.
A 2022 survey by the Chinese University of Hong Kong's Center of Communication and Public Opinion notes almost 70% respondents experiences some form of sleep disorder.Hong Kongers have much stress from work and need a space for sleeping，but their living spaces are too small.Some may not live alone and have to share apartments with their family，which may not be a good environment fora proper rest.
After noticing passengers falling asleep on their buses，the Hong Kong tour company，Ulu Travel Agency，recently launched such an innovative way for adults to sleep：the Sleeping Bus Tour.The five-hour bus ride takes passengers on an 83-kilometer （about 51.5 miles） journey aboard a regular double decker bus.Not only is the Sleeping Bus Tour the first of its kind，it 's also the longest bus route in Hong Kong，ensuring that tired passengers have plenty of time to enjoy some sleep.
Once passengers board the bus，they are treated with a goodie bag complete with an eye mask and earplugs to help them sleep and they are allowed to bring their own blankets and slippers.The long ride includes a few stops for scenic spots and bathroom breaks.Passengers can also get off the bus early atone of several drop-off points if they'd prefer to continue their sleep at home rather than complete the entire journey.Tickets for the Sleeping Bus Tour are divided in four categories from the"Zero-decibel（分貝） Sleeping Cabin"to the"VIP Cabin."Prices range from about 17 USDto115 USD per person.For more information on this unique experience，head to the Ulu travel company website.
