0Is sleep simply the absence of work—or is it one of our greatest performance advantages?
In this episode of the Engineering Wellbeing Podcast @Jinshang , host Gerald Anthony sits down with Mr. Sepp Ye (叶大勇), entrepreneur, founder of Beijing Ouyijia Technology Development Co., Ltd., founder of the Swiss Lifestyle Hall, and a leader in China's premium sleep industry.
Together they explore why modern society often treats sleep as something to sacrifice in pursuit of productivity, achievement, and success. Drawing from years of experience working in the sleep industry, Mr. Sepp shares insights into changing consumer behaviours, mattress selection, cultural differences between China and the West, multigenerational living, urban lifestyles, technology, and the growing importance of sleep as a foundation for health and wellbeing.
Rather than viewing sleep as lost time, this conversation reframes sleep as one of the most valuable investments we can make in our physical health, cognitive performance, emotional resilience, and long-term quality of life.
Whether you are a parent, educator, business leader, healthcare professional, or simply someone hoping to improve your own sleep, this episode offers practical insights into how better sleep can help us build healthier families, stronger communities, and more productive workplaces.

Engineering Wellbeing@Jin Shang
A podcast where we explore Wellbeing as a BRIDGE. In each monthly series, we take one theme and explore it through four complimentary lenses: a systems level framing, a technology perspective, a specialist or scientific viewpoint, and a cultural Chinese context lens. Because Wellbeing is never one-dimensional; it is biology, psychology, social, cultural, and technology all at once.
在这里，我们将探索健康福祉如何成为连接不同领域的「桥梁」。每个月，我们将围绕一个主题，通过4个互补的视角展开探讨：系统层面的宏观框架、科技维度的前沿洞察、专家学者的科学观点，以及中国本土的文化语境。因为真正的幸福从来不是单一的维度，而是生物学、心理学、社会学、文化与科技的交融共生。
