YATAI | OVERWORKED? JUST 3 Hours of SLEEP for this Ramen Yatai Owner

This 64 year old man in Oita prefecture only sleeps around 3 hours so that he can setup and open his ramen yatai stall for his customers. He enjoys having his regulars come to eat his ramen and visit him. He doesn't even have a cellphone, but enjoys his work. If you have a chance, why don't you go visit his yatai stall?

Part time, so there’s that but still. Makes me worry. Edit: should note that I’m not against the elderly working or anything if that’s what they like to do!

My father was a very hard working man, we didn’t come from wealth, he kept us afloat. He use to sleep 4/5 hours a day. He passed away early from all the stress from high blood pressure and stroke.

I know it’s not easy to but the alternative is passing away too early.

[@merchrich9758]

I mean in reality, this is what ideal society would look like. Someone opens up their share of value to society, their friends, peers and some strangers come to enjoy the value. They enjoy each other's company every day or every couple of days, talk a bit, help each other out when needed - and the work becomes quite rewarding. I highly doubt the man wants to retire, simply because of the meaning serving his community and familiar faces gives him. Hearing that birthday story really warms the heart, all aside from the lack of sleep; but some people can go off less sleep I guess. At least this man seemed to not complain about 3 hours of sleep saying "I'll rest when I'm tired". Work that you like to do is what gives your life extra meaning, especially when it's serving other people in some kind of way and having a connection with them. The Japanese especially understand the value of this, as they are very isolated people in their daily lives. God bless this man and his community.

I believe people should not bullshit and present some false sense of goodness. Go do something locally and give out your time rather than just say you would to people half way round the world in a video on the Internet.
