"More than anything it needs to be remembered that for much of Chinese history people actually preferred to sleep while squatting – this wonderful ability is still is evidence on long train rides."
...curious..who has struck this? how common is it? Ever tried it? Comments?

oh yea, and the lunch nap. If anyone wants to invade China, do it at lunch time, they will all be asleep at their desks. Heads down, lights out.

I always see guys at bus stops "sitting" like this waiting for a bus as if there was an invisible stool there. Myself, I cant do it without falling over. So, yea, Im guessing they can sleep that way too.
