Chinese Woman Wins $1,400 by Staying Phone-Free for 8 Hours in Unique Contest

The competition in Chongqing tested participants' ability to remain calm and anxiety-free without electronic devices for an extended period.

A Chinese woman, surnamed Dong, won 10,000 yuan ($1,400) for staying eight hours without using her phone in a contest held in Chongqing, China.
The competition required participants to give up all electronic devices, remain on a designated bed, and avoid deep sleep or signs of anxiety.
Contestants were monitored for anxiety and sleep levels using wrist straps, with meals and drinks provided to them in bed.
Dong, a sales manager, scored 88.99 out of 100 by staying calm and relaxed, attributing her success to her minimal phone usage and daily habits.
The event, designed to promote digital detox and mindfulness, gained significant attention on Chinese social media, where Dong earned the nickname 'pyjama sister.'
