Posted in: What's the best way to salvage your day after a bad night’s sleep? See in context
Using a watch with a sleep sensor has greatly helped me to be more aware and mindful of my sleep.
I now see my patterns and when I get deep, rem, and light sleep.
Also your interruptions and things you don’t even remember sometimes occur in the middle of the night.

Is this an annual multiple occurrence?
Why yes it is! Every year the PM (regardless of who) threatens to or not to dissolve parliament because of his job rating.

Congratulations to the Tigers
There were thousands of Police and barricades to stop anyone in Shinsaibashi from jumping into the river.
It was actually the tightest security event I’ve ever seen here.
Kind of perplexing, but it was funny to see.

This mayor must not have many thjngs to do as he has spent a month campaigning against Halloween.
I don’t think you should wreck your streets but he could spend half the time money and energy on making it happen better instead of trying to ban it forever.
Anyways, come to Osaka, its much more chill and a better metropolis for living.

Why would it be impossible to track them down and return the money? They are in a train station with cameras and now the train has cameras too.
If these gangs dont find a guy who falls for their plots, they will target innocent people.
What kind of article ends with an assumption that it’s impossible to catch them?

No I don’t like the term “overtourism” as it refers to the NHK definition of the word.
Stop complaining and have some appreciation for the tourists that help keeping the economy sputtering along.

What is a low income household?
Many families have both parents working but make under a million yen a month.
Some may even struggle to break half a million a month in salary too.
It depends on expenses and actually who needs it wasn’t addressed in the last handouts.
Are handouts a post corona government incentive?

Raise train fares on the weekend and to the good spots?
If you want the hundreds of millions that tourists bring, it comes with the good and the bad and the crowded and the shocked local at the sight.
The punishment doesn’t even fit the crime or solve the problem.

If it were a Japanese custom it would be a matsuri and it wouldn’t raise an eyebrow - because it would be better planned.
Also in Japan we dknt really have a tradition of going party nuts on a certain date. New Years is pretty tame, kidz don’t go nuts on summer break either.
