Life as a Chinese techie: sleeping while on the clock

Office workers sleeping on the job is a common sight in China, where a surplus of cheap labor can lead to downtime at work. But in China's technology sector, where business is growing faster than many startup firms can hire new staff, workers burn the midnight oil to meet deadlines and compete with their rivals. Some companies provide sleeping areas and beds for workers to rest when they work late.
