Japanâs Sleep Crisis: Shohei Ohtani or Scientists, Who's Fixing Zzzs?
Japan finds itself in a sleep drought, with citizens clocking fewer Zâs than a caffeinated owl. Scientists, the usual suspects in lab coats, are panicking and proposing remedies that probably involve moon phases or counting rice grains. Enter Shohei Ohtani, the baseball phenom whoâs thrown more curveballs than advice, apparently pitching his own sleep tips. Japanâs ancient culture of âgamanâ (enduring pain without complaint) meets modern insomnia, forming a perfect storm of nod-offs at desk jobs. The industrial and health sectors are desperate since well-rested is not the Japanese motto these days. Meanwhile, sleep specialists and Ohtani race to knock the sand out of Japan's eyesâno autographs on those sleep masks, please.

Japanâs national pastime isnât baseball, itâs staying awake while pretending this sleep crisis isnât a slow-motion meltdown. Shohei Ohtani pitching sleep advice, scientists bewilderedânext up: government coaching naps during tea ceremonies.
If Shohei Ohtani can recommend sleep fixes, maybe Japanâs insomnia really is just a weird kind of home run derby against tiredness.
Japanâs got a sleep crisis but at least they donât have to worry about running out of things to do between yawns.
