Sleep (S04E05)

S04E05

In Japan, people tend to get less sleep each night compared to many other nations, likely due to a fast-paced, always-active culture and a deep-seated work ethic. This growing need for better sleep has led hotels, long-distance bus services, and various businesses to provide unique sleep-focused amenities. Some companies have even started incorporating nap breaks to boost productivity. Joining us is Prof. Yukio Toyoda, a sociologist who specializes in sleep in Japan. Plus, we’ll explore the world of artistic expressions featuring sleeping babies.
