If you’re anything like us, you don’t get enough sleep. You probably plan to go to bed early, maybe read a book, with lights out by 10 so you can wake up refreshed and ready for the next day. But 1 am rolls around and you need to watch just one more episode of the new Netflix show you’re binging. It happens the next day and the next and so on. How do we end this vicious cycle and finally get the sleep we require? If you live in Hong Kong you can simply climb onto a bus.

‘Seinfeld’ might have been the show about nothing, but this bus in Hong Kong is the bus to nowhere. The trip lasts for five hours and travels 47 mils around the Tuen Mun Highway and North Lantau Island and is designed to help with stress and anxiety by offering an “uninterrupted sleeping bus.”

We know what you’re thinking, how could someone fall asleep on an uncomfortable bus seat? Well, this snoozing double-decker bus offers four different kinds of cabins that range from $13 to $51 US. You also don’t have to stay on for all five hours if you want a quick nap as the bus stops at various locations along the way.

The best part? Before the bus even leaves, passengers are treated to a two-course meal to get them good and full and ready for a relaxing slumber. While we’re unlikely to make it to Hong Kong any time soon, we can only hope the appeal of this bus will make a US option available soon.
