They are so-called 'Sleepmaker', which induces sleep through comfortable conversation and emotional consensus before falling asleep.
Customers using this service are mainly young adults suffering from the so-called '996' culture of working six days a week, from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., marriage stress, and other life pressures.
According to Guangzhou Daily and the South China Morning Post, Taoiseach, a part-time sleep maker who earns a decent salary in a stable workplace, also took up the job for leisure income after using the service.
In an interview with the media, she said she used sleep services to relieve anxiety caused by seeing her hometown friends get married and start a family.
"Talking to strangers about personal issues that are difficult to share with friends or family may be the best way to deal with emotional waste. Once this emotional garbage is disposed of, people tend to sleep better,' she said.
After becoming a sleep maker, Taoiseach participated in a group chat that allowed him to take orders in his free time, sharing revenue with the platform.
She said "Top-level sleep makers can make quite a lot of money. They can earn up to 260 yuan (about 50,000 won) per hour, and full-time sleep makers can receive additional tips for up to 30,000 yuan (about 5.77 million won) per month.
Most of Taoji's customers are young people born in the 1990s and 2000s.
They listen to their stories and seek emotional support.
The sleep maker service ends when the customer falls asleep. As a result, they sometimes have difficulty sleeping.
Netizens want to try "How much sleep do I have to take advantage of these services"", "Maybe it's better to go to the hospital instead"" give a back reaction.
