But overall, Japanese researchers warn that people in Japan are not getting enough sleep. According to a government survey cited on Sunday by Japan’s Kyodo news agency, 45.5 percent of Japan’s working population sleeps less than six hours a night. However, fatigue has a negative impact on the psyche, among other things.

Last year there were a record number of 710 compensation cases related to overwork-related mental disorders, which in extreme cases can lead to suicide, the report said. Death from overwork has its own word in Japan: ‘karoshi’.

It is necessary to “correct long working hours and give employees more sleep” to stay mentally healthy, the agency quoted a Japanese Health Ministry official.

Japanese experts have long warned about the chronic lack of sleep among their fellow countrymen. The whole nation suffers from it. Accordingly, Japanese people sleep noticeably less on average than their counterparts in other European countries or the US.
