Finding a place to rest during a layover can often prove difficult.To combat this, some tourists in Singapore have started finding quiet areas in Changi Airport to catch some shut eye — including one which has been dubbed the «sleeper village».A woman from the US posted a video to TikTok on Oct 5, showing how she and her husband rested at that area.She explained that they opted to do this before their morning flight as their visit coincided with the Singapore Grand Prix and hotel prices were «astronomical» as a result.Hotels near the airport were charging US$400 (S$518) a night at that time, while the average is usually less than US$200, she said.While the couple had «a rough time» finding a place to rest initially, they discovered the Terminal 1 Arrival Garden, where they saw «at least 30 other people» sleeping.The woman referred to this area as the «sleeper village».The pair had come prepared with blankets and inflatable neck cushions, which they placed on the garden floor so they would lie down.
