Japan PM Takaichi's “0-3 Hours Sleep” Post Draws Criticism Across Party Lines

Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi faced criticism after posting that she had been reading and processing documents with little sleep over a weekend, saying “zero to three hours” had become normal. Lawmakers across party lines questioned the message, with some arguing that a leader should allocate tasks and ensure an environment for sound decision-making. Ruling Liberal Democratic Party comments pointed to impatience and the importance of trusted aides. Opposition figures said they rarely see a head of government publicly emphasize not sleeping.
