This month’s lunch menu came with the results of a survey of 2nensei students on the back. The survey had questions regarding their eating, sleeping and health habits, and I think was just an excuse to indulge Japan’s not-so-secret love with surveys and graphs, but it had some interesting results.

When asked how they were feeling the morning they took the survey, only 22% felt well, 8 % “felt well and had various conditions” (um, I have NO clue what that means), and 69% didn’t feel well.

When asked what time they went to sleep the night before, only 9% went to bed between 9-10:00. 18% went to bed between 10-11, 29% went to bed between 11-12, and freaking 42% went to bed some time after midnight. Dude, that is NOT much sleep for growing chuugakusei to be getting! Might I mention that it’s later than I go to bed, sad! No wonder these kids are always sick, they’re too busy studying, doing sports, and studying even more to eat, sleep, or have fun. Poor kids!
