If you've seen people in pyjamas wandering around the city, taking over train stations and street corners, you're probably wondering — what on earth is going on?

Well, you're not dreaming! These 'sleepwalkers' are all part of IKEA's epic lead-up to their month-long IKEA Snooze Fest 2024, and it's about to get even better.

Over the past week, you might have caught glimpses of these pyjama-clad commuters snoozing on the MRT and LRT. Or, you may have even spotted them wandering through the Bukit Bintang station.

From fluffy pyjamas to traditional baju kelawar, these IKEA Sleepwalkers have been making waves across KL. But, they weren't just taking an impromptu nap — this playful stunt was a fun (and cosy) reminder for all of us to take sleep seriously, despite how busy life gets.

And yesterday, everything came together in a dreamlike finale. The grand reveal took place at Lot 10 Shopping Centre, where IKEA Malaysia installed a giant pillow display, inviting everyone to get comfy and embrace the magic of sleep. 

The flash mob that followed was a showstopper, transforming the bustling city into a surreal, nap-worthy moment. But, that's not the end of it — IKEA Snooze Fest 2024 is just kicking off!

Starting from 7 September to 29 September, IKEA will be hosting a month-long celebration of all things sleep across their stores in Malaysia
