Takaichi sleep schedule sparks debate

Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's social media post revealing she typically gets zero to three hours of sleep, and managed five hours on a holiday, has sparked a national debate on work-life balance and leadership. Critics, including opposition lawmakers Toru Kunishige and Hiroyuki Tsunishi, warned of impaired judgment and called for her resignation. Supporters like Yoko Iwama and Ayano Kunimitsu defended her, highlighting challenges faced by women in leadership. The controversy comes as Takaichi pushes legislation before summer recess and deals with economic issues including a weak yen.
