Sleep deprivation is doing more harm in Japan than just making people grumpy and unhealthy. It is also holding back the world’s third-largest economy.
The problem has been getting worse in recent years. Nearly half of full-time workers say they don’t get enough sleep, citing long overtime hours as a primary reason, according to a government white paper on “karoshi”-- death from overwork.

I read a few years ago about the most sleep deprived places in the world and Japan was at the top of the list. It is no wonder though, so many of the locals work so hard. There is such a huge honor in being a hard worker but I think they need to be careful. Your health will pay the price.
