It is difficult to find a lunch break.

If you walk into the Gangnam business district of Seoul during your lunch break, you will find that a "siesta cafe" is hard to find, with cubicles occupied by tired office workers who lie or lie down. sleep to the sound of a soft wooden guitar or sip a sip of cold coffee.

"Public convenience Lounge"

Owner Zheng Yunxi, 59, who opened the coffee shop Shim Story in 2015, called it a "public convenience lounge."

According to his observation, many stressed and tired office workers have no parks or places to rest during their lunch break, and nap cafes have become a good place to meet their needs.

It's only 200 yuan per hour.

In addition to office workers, Shim Story's clientele has students who come here to relax a little after school, taking a nap for as little as 7000 won an hour, including a drink to quench their thirst.

Is taking a nap a sign of laziness?

Besides Shim Story, another siesta cafe, NaZzzam, is also very popular.

NaZzzam boss Zheng Zhien (Jeong Ji-eun) said: "countries like Spain have a culture of siesta, but South Korea, which really needs a break, does not have such a culture, because we think a nap is a sign of laziness. "

I saw my colleague sleeping on the table.

Zheng Zhien mentioned that she wanted to open a siesta cafe because she saw her colleagues taking a nap on their desks, so she thought why not create a place where people can escape from their busy lives a little and go back to work after they have had enough sleep.

A career woman said: "because of my baby, I can't sleep well at night, so I need to sleep more during the day." I slept on the table during the previous lunch break, but it was really inconvenient. "

Dark and full of coffee, recharge before you go to work.

Jin Minzhe, an office worker who often spends money on NaZzzam, said: "at first I came here out of curiosity, and then I became a regular. Kim Min-Tseh often skips lunch and reports directly to the siesta cafe.

"sleep for half an hour in a dark, coffee-scented comfortable environment to help me recharge and face the rest of the work. "

It's easy to sleep in the cinema.

In addition to siesta cafes, there are also siesta cinemas in Yoido, where the Korean Stock Exchange and the Korea Financial Investment Association are located. The cinema where the film was originally shown is specially open for consumers to take a nap during the lunch break, asking for 10,000 won (about NT $264) for an hour and a half.
