Japan PM Takaichi Sanae's No-Sleep Boast Draws Public Backlash

Prime Minister Takaichi Sanae faced widespread criticism after claiming she gets no sleep, a remark that resonated poorly in a country where karoshi (death by overwork) remains a serious social issue. When her poll numbers subsequently dropped, she expressed confusion about the backlash, drawing further public disapproval for her apparent tone-deafness to widespread concerns about work-life balance.
