Climb into bed ... 100ft up
When Aya Nakamura asked a Tokyo hotel if they had a spare bed maybe she should have been more specific.The professional window cleaner spent last night 'sleeping' in a bed suspended half way up the Sony building in Tokyo as a PR stunt to raise awareness that many of us get too little sleep.
She abseiled into the specially constructed vertical bed in the evening and back out again the following morning.
Nakamura found the experience relaxing saying: "I was yawning and I actually almost fell asleep because it's such beautiful weather. It's so warm and it feels so good."

Sleep deprivation in Japan is becoming a national problem according to a survey commissioned by ANA Crowne Plaza Hotels & Resorts who constructed the vertical bed.They found long working hours, weekends at the office, working at the computer before going to bed and not getting enough light exercise are all contributing factors that lead to sleep deprivation.

They will put a bed ANYWHERE in Japan, on a shelf, in a drawer and now of the side of buildings.
