Ryan: Apparently I didn't take a single nap last year.
2
I got notified of that yesterday. And then I spent like all day trying to remember the last time I took a nap. And I tracked it all the way back to 2016, right before I read 4 Hour Workweek.
3
The self-help section of Barnes & Noble has single-handedly destroyed my circadian rhythm. So today I'm gonna try to fix it by going to Japan.
4
They got a lot of cool places to take naps over there.
5
Wish wish wish wish wish wish wish wish wish wish wish.
6
I found those pots from the article.
7
Yeah, I'm in Japan now.
8
It's super fun. Shinjuku Station first.
9
It's the cheapest one by far. Leighton said: "Pods. The pods smell like cigarette.
10
Good for work, but come on!
11
Who smoked?" Alright, this one's available.
12
Let's get it! I don't know how much to...
13
Here we go. Oh!
14
That's cute. See you, guys!
15
Okay. First nap of the day.
16
I'm just kidding. Dude, you can just see people walking outside.
17
It's so strange. Hypothetical figures.
18
I wonder if they can see me out there.
19
How about a quick tour?
20
So there's not much in here.
21
You've got a desktop monitor, comes with a chair.
22
It spins around, but it doesn't move.
23
Hand sanitizer.
24
Not bad. Just before I came here, I stopped at a watch store, and this guy sold me a Rolex for, like, 20 bucks.
25
It doesn't say Rolex on it.
26
All right, I'm gonna try to take a nap now.
27
Well, on to the next one.
28
I missed my train on the way to the next pod, but I wasn't recording, so I set up a shot to show myself missing my train.
29
Then, while I was trying to get a fun drink out of the vending machine, I missed it again. There are actually people napping everywhere.
30
It's crazy.
31
Okay, before I go to my next sleep pod, I'm gonna grab a little bite to eat.
32
Let's just say...
33
Let's just say it's on...
34
Conveyer belt sushi!
35
I was trying to think of a joke about the fish still moving and being alive.
36
I don't know. Sour.
37
I think it's alcoholic. Okay, my next sleep pod is like 1 hour...
38
Google Maps: Proceed to the root.
39
Ryan: Yeah, my next sleep pod is like 1 hour walk away.
40
I'm feeling crazy after that sushi.
41
I got a coffee afterwards.
42
I am frankly, buzzing.
43
Nice to meet you.
44
Google Maps: Take a right on Hibiadoria Avenue!
45
Then in 800ft, take a left at Etai Dori Avenue!
46
Ryan: I was just about to add like a funny pop up on the screen of my ID and my name, legally being frankly buzzed. Google Maps: In 700ft, take a left at Etai Dori Avenue!
47
Ryan: All right, I'm gonna put it on the screen right now.
48
Hope you guys enjoy.
49
Google Maps: In 900ft cross on Shibori Dori...
50
Ryan: Hey! I'm gonna say something else.
51
I don't like that. Shabam, I don't know.
52
This is sleep pod 2.
53
It's called Nine Hours.
54
The pictures online look absolutely insane.
55
It's literally like just little pods.
56
I booked a 1 hour nap.
57
You can literally book naps, so I gotta get to work.
58
It literally says "capsule and run".
59
That is literally me.
60
Okay. Let's go!
61
Alright. New pod, new place.
62
This one's called Nine Hours.
63
It's a little bit more expensive.
64
Ophelia said: "My first time paying money to take a nap.
65
Big spaceship vibe. Haha!
66
I went to space. Don't tell my son!" I walked in and was greeted with a key to my room...or pod.
67
I don't know what to call it. I don't even think there's a door.
68
It's so quiet.
69
This is the closest thing I've been to the world's quietest room, and I've been to the world's quietest room. Okay, how about a tour?
70
Okay. So pretty self-explanatory.
71
You've got a nice blind here.
72
Shower sandals.
73
They give you a sleeping gown.
74
Hold on! No way!
75
This is the cutest little shirt.
76
Beautiful light and some, uh, charging supplies.
77
Oh! That's dark.
78
Oh, that's so cool. Very nice high quality comforter here.
79
Oh, yeah. That's nice.
80
I feel like I'm at a sleepover.
81
This is so fun. The only thing left to do is: try to take a nap.
82
No luck. But this was definitely one of my favorite experiences so far in Japan.
83
I haven't been here that long.
84
All right, on to the next one.
85
Okay, it's dark outside now.
86
City life. It's so cool here. It is insane. Look at this! Bruh!
87
Oh, my goodness!
88
Oh, my goodness! This is the busiest crosswalk in the world.
89
Literally, I looked it up.
90
Look at all these people ready to walk!
91
Oh, my gosh!
92
Look at that group over there!
93
Guys, I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna walk across the busiest crosswalk in the world.
94
Sorry! Oh, sorry.
95
How does this functionally work?
96
There's so many people.
97
All right, guys, for dinner, I'm gonna grab some authentic Japanese local cuisine.
98
You ready? It was a joke.
99
I hear the McDonald's here are way better, so...let's get it!
100
The Japanese menu at McDonald's was unbelievable.
101
So many fun menu items.
102
Here's what I ordered: Samurai Mc, the Mc Fry Potato, Green Fanta, and a chocolate macaron. Even the trays are a different color in Japan.
103
Just like old times, I'm gonna eat this McDonald's quick.
104
On to the next sleep pod.
105
Sleep pod 3 is The Millennials.
106
I'm Gen Z, but it'll do. Bro!
107
Sorry about that! It's best if we just go inside.
108
Yeah. Sleep on 3.
109
This one is definitely more expensive, but it's also overnight.
110
And Alison said: "Loved my stay here.
111
But the bed was a bit tight with my boyfriend and his uncle with me. But would come back". I walked in, played some Temple Run on the iPad...
112
Just kidding. Just checking in.
113
And the nice lady at the front gave me a bag of goodies for the night.
114
Yeah, this one is public public. Voila.
115
The only thing separating me from sleeping with 50 strangers is this pull down fabric.
116
Well, this one is definitely nicer, but it's so quiet in here.
117
Like, I literally feel like I'm screaming.
118
Like I'm literally about to burst my eardrum.
119
They actually just got hit with a wave of fatigue.
120
I'm so sleepy.
121
But first: a tour.
122
We've got plugs, we've got a full sized bed, a mirror.
123
I put my stuff up there, and it comes with this iPod.
124
Let's see if this works!
125
Whoa! Definitively speaking, a nap is less than 1 hour.
126
I woke up 10 hours later.
127
Uh...Although my stay was over, I had one last thing to take care of.
128
Oh, my gosh!
129
Howdy! It's morning. Morning time.
130
Feeling quite chilled this morning.
131
Feeling quite calm, even on the busiest crosswalk in the world.
132
But it's time I head to my next sleep pod.
133
I'm lost. Thank you, Duolingo!
134
Has this guy lost his mind or what?
135
He doesn't have a head.
136
Pod 4: Nescafé.
137
I'm feeling pretty chilled.
138
Let's see if we can get this nap in!
139
I'm not coming back for the camera.
140
This is truly me walking up to the...to the spot.
141
I'm feeling relaxed.
142
This might be the pod that breaks my 7 year nap plague. Andrew says: "I come here daily.
143
Coffee+nap. Doesn't add up on paper.
144
Jungle sounds". I followed Rico into the pod and confirmed Andrew's statements.
145
You really can't tell, but it is so dark in here.
146
I feel like I'm literally in a rainforest.
147
This speaker over here is so relaxing.
148
This is really nice.
149
How about a tour? Alright, so first things first: it comes with these slippers.
150
Um...I don't think I'm gonna put them on.
151
What the heck? We've also got hot coffee, cream and sugar.
152
Beautiful sandwich, cozy lamp, couple pillows.
153
Blanket. Ah!
154
That's good. It's so relaxing in here.
155
I think I'm gonna try to take a nap.
156
Another napless day.
157
Although that was the most expensive pod, I still had one final frontier. Early.
158
I'm wearing an apron.
159
So you might have noticed: in every single frame of this video, I was wearing an article of clothing that said a word.
160
"Howdy". This is called subliminal messaging.
161
Guys: "Wait a minute! What does he mean by that?" Ryan: This is ramen, and this is the sponsor of this video.
162
It's Shopify. I know, it's so fun.
163
I have dreamed of coming to Japan since I was in high school.
164
High school is also when I started my first small business. I would knock on doors in my hometown, trying to sell people water bottles. And eventually I was so scared to talk to people. I decided to try to just talk to a camera, and that's why I started a YouTube channel. So I've been a fan of Shopify, like my entire YouTube career.
165
So in year 6 of my journey here, I've started a new thing, called "Howdy Howdy".
166
Guys: Okay.
167
Got it. I get it now.
168
Ryan: So all the clothing I'm wearing in this video is from our new drop, "Howdy Space Program".
169
I did a DIY photo shoot, super cute.
170
Look at me! I'm like an astronaut.
171
This was the sketch whenever I envisioned it, by the way. Super professional, I know. I've been having a lot of fun starting a new small business.
172
It's helped me to be more creative, and Shopify's support has been incredible.
173
Both their emotional support and literally their support team is fantastic.
174
So if you wanna check out the new capsule, it's on howdyhowdy.com, but it's also on the shop app.
175
And if you've had an idea and you've been waiting for a sign to start a small business, this is it. This is the one. You can sign up for Shopify at shopify.com/ryantrahan.
176
Link in the description.
177
I'm gonna eat this ramen now.
178
My friends, the final frontier.
179
The final nap pod is not a pod at all.
180
I'm just gonna sit here and try to take a nap.
181
I'm at the busiest crosswalk in the world, by the way.
182
Clearly, it's possible. This might be my craziest stunt yet.
183
We're rolling? We're rolling? We're rolling?
184
I only have one camera. That took me like 10 minutes to set up the shots, but...
185
Alright, there's no more running from it.
186
I have a full belly from that ramen.
187
It's go time.
188
I'm not sure how to go.
189
I love Japan, because they really value rest.
190
Like all of these public sleep pods are here, because people are commuting and want a place to take a break. In fact, naps are actually respected as a sign of hard work here.
191
I realize I struggle to take naps, because I'm anxious that I'm wasting time...every day.
192
Another napless day.
193
I fell asleep for like 12 minutes, but it counts.
194
Also, this guy just gave me an energy drink.
195
How cool...how cool is that?
196
My new goal in life for the foreseeable future.
197
Slow down, take naps, and stop going to the self-help section of Barnes & Noble!
198
Have a great day, guys! Love you.

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?
Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
