There is an agony at waking up after a poor night’s sleep, realizing that there is no time left to delay a difficult day to come. On the other hand, after that grueling day is done, the moment of returning to bed brings an ecstatic emotion, filled with gratitude for the ability to finally abandon all expectations of upright responsibility in a surrender to the mattress. At last, one’s own needs will be met in the sweet relief of rest unrestrained.
They call this emotion bedgasm.
In Tokyo, Japan, there is a place to sleep that celebrates this feeling: The Hostel Bedgasm. There’s a catch, though: There’s no elevator in The Hostel Bedgasm. So, at the end of a long day, before you can collapse into bed, you’ve got to climb five flights of stairs.
Perhaps this extra delay makes the final release all the more intense.
