Xiamen ranked 14th on a list detailing cities’ afternoon nap durations in 20 Chinese cities, with a siesta duration of 45.4 minutes per person on average. 

 

According to the list released by Horizon Research Consultancy Group, a leading firm in professional research and management consulting in China, Tianjin snatched first place on the list with the longest per-capita nap time. 

 

The nap duration list of the 20 Chinese cities surveyed: 

1. Tianjin, 53.9 minutes
