Have you ever enjoyed a deep sleep on the sand? Perhaps some of us have ever slept in the sand on the beach when camping or picnic with family. But what people do in some villages in Sumenep regency, Madura Island in Indonesia is quite different.
They actually enjoy sleeping on the sand in their own homes. This is a super unique scene that you will encounter when visiting there. I think this scene is just here, the only one in the world.
The Villagers call it Kampung Pasir. This village is spread in East Legung Village, West Legung Village and Dapenda Village, Batang-Batang District, Sumenep Regency.
According to some residents there, the tradition of sleeping on sand is a tradition left behind by their ancestors. Every house there is required to have a sand mattress. Even some residents, making this fine sand in front of his house as a place they relax after work with family or neighbors.
Because of its uniqueness, now this Kampung Pasir area becomes one of the tourist destinations. Many people come from outside the island of Madura, East Java Province is to simply enjoy sleeping on the sand.
THE LEGACY OF THE ANCESTORS
No one knows exactly when this tradition began. According to some residents' recognition there, the tradition of sleeping on the sand has been going on for very long, even hundreds of years.
Many also claim to be born on the sand in their homes. Therefore, it has become a habit for local residents to sit, rest or sleep on the sand. Sand has become part of their lives since infancy.
Residents also believe sleeping on the sand is healthier than sleeping on a mattress. It is also more soothing soul. When bored, then they moved to sleep on the mattress.
THE MISTICAL STORY
Some residents believe that when sleeping on the sand because directly in contact with nature, the science of evil can not attack it. Therefore, sleeping on sand is not only done by lower class people, but citizens who have a better social level also have sand beds.
Sand that is used as a bed is said to be sand taken from Mount Sand in the Village Legung Barat, Dapinda and Lombang. They transport it on foot. These is also certainly never stepped on by human feet, until arriving at their respective homes to serve as a sand mattress.
Sand that is attached to the nose, hair, body and even eyes, just washed away when they wake up. Residents never feel that the sand is dangerous.
It looks unique, doesn’t? Do you want to try it?

Kampung Kasur Pasir, Kampung Paling Unik di Indonesia
Apakah Anda pernah menikmati tidur nyenyak di atas pasir? Barang kali sebagian kita pernah tertidur di hamparan pasir di bibir pantai ketika sedang berkemah atau berpiknik bersama keluarga. Namun apa yang dilakukan warga di beberapa desa di Kabupaten Sumenep, Pulau Madura di Indonesia ini sungguh berbeda.
Mereka justru menikmati tidur di atas pasir di rumah mereka sendiri. Inilah pemandangan super unik yang akan Anda temui bila berkunjung ke sana. Barang kali pemandangan seperti ini hanya ada di sini, satu-satunya di dunia.
Warga setempat menyebutnya Kampung Pasir. Perkampungan ini tersebar di Desa Legung Timur, Desa Legung Barat dan Desa Dapenda, Kecamatan Batang-Batang, Kabupaten Sumenep.
Menurut sejumlah warga di sana, tradisi tidur di atas pasir merupakan tradisi yang ditinggalkan oleh nenek moyang mereka. Setiap rumah di sana diharuskan memiliki kasur pasir. Bahkan beberapa warga, membuat hamparan pasir halus ini di depan rumahnya sebagai tempat mereka bersantai sepulang bekerja bersama keluarga atau tetangganya.
Karena keunikan tersebut, kini kawasan Kampung Pasir ini menjadi salah satu destinasi wisata. Banyak orang datang dari luar Pulau Madura, Provinsi Jawa Timur ini untuk sekadar bisa menikmati tidur di atas pasir.
WARISAN NENEK MOYANG
Tak ada yang tahu persis sejak kapan tradisi ini dimulai. Menurut beberapa pengakuan warga di sana, tradisi tidur di atas pasir itu sudah berlangsung sangat lama, bahkan ratusan tahun.
Banyak juga yang mengaku dilahirkan di atas pasir di dalam rumah mereka. Karena itu, sudah menjadi kebiasaan bagi warga setempat untuk duduk, istirahat atau tidur di atas pasir. Pasir telah menjadi bagian dari kehidupan mereka sejak bayi.
Warga juga meyakini tidur di atas pasir lebih sehat dari pada tidur di atas kasur. Selain itu juga lebih menenangkan jiwa. Bila bosan, barulah mereka pindah untuk tidur di atas kasur.
CERITA MISTIS
Sejumlah warga meyakini bila tidur di atas pasir karena langsung bersentuhan dengan alam, maka ilmu jahat tak dapat menyerangnya. Karena itu, tidur di atas pasir bukan hanya dilakukan oleh masyarakat kelas bawah, namun warga yang memiliki tingkat sosial yang lebih baik juga memiliki tempat tidur pasir.
Pasir-pasir yang digunakan sebagai tempat tidur ini konon merupakan pasir yang diambil dari Gunung Pasir di Desa Legung Barat, Dapinda dan Lombang. Mereka mengangkutnya dengan berjalan kaki. Pasir-pasir ini juga dipastikan tidak pernah terinjak oleh kaki manusia, sampai tiba di rumah masing-masing untuk dijadikan sebagai kasur pasir.
Pasir-pasir yang menempel di hidung, rambut, badan bahkan mata, hanya dicuci begitu saja saat mereka bangun. Warga tidak pernah merasakan bahwa pasir itu berbahaya.
Unik bukan? Apakah Anda ingin mencobanya?
Kampung yang unik, begitu cara mereka menikmati hidup. Beragam benar adat dan budaya di Indonesia.

Wow, this is so cool! I can imagine sleeping on it on a hot day, but the difference is, you don't have to do it under the sun. Usually you'll have to either lay on the sand early in the morning or late in the evening when the sun is gone. Now with this bed, I can do it anytime I want!

Umm taking a nap on a sandy beach is pretty relaxing, but sleeping on a pile of sand every night? Sounds interesting.
Well, sand is also used in healing. Medicinal properties can help with a variety of conditions, that could be the reason they sleep on the sand.
