Japan's New Prime Minister Sparks Concern Over Sleep Schedule and Overtime Reform
Sanae Takaichi, the newly appointed Japanese prime minister, has found herself at the center of controversy after it emerged that she only averages two to four hours of sleep each night. The revelation has raised eyebrows among critics who are questioning her ability to effectively govern the country.
Takaichi's lack of sleep has been seen as a concerning trend, not just for the health implications but also for setting a bad example for the rest of the population. As Japan grapples with its own issues related to long working hours and excessive overtime, Takaichi's government is also considering raising the upper limit on work time.
The move has sparked fears that it may exacerbate the existing problem of overwork in Japan, where employees are often expected to put in long hours without adequate rest. Critics argue that this will have far-reaching consequences for employee health and well-being.
Takaichi's approach to governance is already facing scrutiny, with many wondering how she plans to tackle the country's pressing issues when she appears to be sacrificing her own health on the altar of duty.

that's crazy! i get like, enough sleep just thinking about it... anyway, i'm not surprised tho, ppl in japan work so much and expect less from their leaders 
maybe she's just showing us what we're already seeing - burnout? my aunt works 12hr shifts sometimes and still gets yelled at for taking a sick day 
if anything, i think we need more sleep, like, more naps in the office or something 
️
at all that japan's new prime minister is getting roasted for her sleep schedule... it's been a huge issue in japan for years 
. they're already struggling with overwork and long hours, and now they wanna raise the limit? 
that just seems like a recipe for disaster 
. i mean, can you imagine trying to run a country on fumes all day? 
. i think sanae takaichi needs to take a step back and prioritize her own well-being (and maybe get some sleep 
) before she starts making big decisions for the rest of japan 
.
.
i mean, i get it, being in charge has its demands but come on, prioritize your health, pm 
️. like, I'm pretty sure our feline friends have way better multitasking skills than politicians 
. Maybe it's time for some sleep therapy for Sanae before she makes any major decisions 
. I mean, two to four hours of sleep is pretty extreme even for someone who needs it more than most people. But what really gets me is that she's trying to overhaul the country's work schedule when she can barely keep her own head above water 
. What's next? Are they gonna tell us to just power through our exhaustion and call it a day? 
i mean, im no expert but even i no thats oversleepin is bad 4 ur health & its not good 4 the rest of ppl 2 see ur PM doin that. & now they wanna raise the limit on work time?! 
we gotta make sure our PMs r takin care of themselves 1st b4 they try 2 tackle the big issues 
but at the same time, it does seem kinda dodgy that she's averaging only 2-4 hrs of zzz's each night 
shouldn't we be more worried about her actually getting stuff done tho? 
. It's crazy that politicians get roasted for getting enough sleep when they're expected to do 100+ hour work weeks 
.
. I hope her government comes up with a more sustainable solution that benefits everyone, not just the politicians
