its not just a japanese thing, its becoming the norm for people to sleep less as life begins to move at a faster pace with the introduction of newer faster technologies. people sleep less to have more time in a day to work and do other things. most of the people i know including myself sleep less than 5 hours a day, too many things to do not enough time to do it in, so we sleep less and do more. its unhealthy.
did you know people of today sleep more than 50% less than people a 100 years ago?
Actually I read this article by this doctor who studied sleep for over 10 years. He said just like food, not every human being requires the same amount of sleep. So the notion of getting your 8 hours a night isn't a "1 size fits all" solution . Some people can get by with 4, and others might need 10 (or more) hours per night.did you know people of today sleep more than 50% less than people a 100 years ago?
He also said that's the reason why some people sleep entire weekends away. It's their body telling them to catch up on all those missed hours during the week.
Also, our body regenerates at superhuman rates while we're in deep sleep. This is why eventhough we sometimes nap, we can still feel tired when we wake up from it.

eating too fast will cause internal organ failure.
Please don't post rubbish. You can eat stones and you won't suffer organ failure. Our digestive system is highly complex and incredibly efficient. Just because you eat quickly, it doesn't mean you'll keel over. P.S: Please don't eat stones.
