China’s army recruits can look forward to a better night’s sleep thanks to a new regulation banning chronic snorers from joining up.
One of a raft of physical and mental traits banned from the army, the new standards governing recruitment into China’s military schools also blacklist drug-takers, tattoo-wearers and overweight applicants, Chinese newspapers reported on Monday.
“Given that chronic snorers’ sounds disturb the life of others, a new regulation … has been added,” the Beijing Times newspaper quoted army official Li Chunming as saying.
