Sleep deprivation is a serious issue here in Malaysia. According to research, Malaysians are only getting close to 6.5 hours of sleep on average everyday.
Consumers Association of Penang (CAP) president S.M. MohamedIdris said that a regional survey showed that Malaysians got only 6.4 hours of sleep on average, short of the recommended eight hours of sleep.

One of the effects of sleep deprivation is impaired judgement, so that (similar to the effects of alcohol) we usually do not notice, or may even subconsciously deny, the extent of our reduced alertness and functionality.
With this problem in mind, a business aptly named I'm So Sleepy hopes to combat the problem by providing a place for people to take naps at anytime throughout the day
Understanding the dilemma that many people face in this generation, a new business located in Damansara Uptown aptly named I’m So Sleepy is looking to combat the problem by offering a place where people can take naps at anytime throughout the day.
