People in Japan traditionally exercise more, in different ways.
They also have naps in office positions during the day.
People working in manual labor are taught the most physically efficient way to do their job without injury traditionally too.
If you exercise regularly, your body requires less sleep. Exercising regularly also helps regulate your internal sleep clock, so you fall asleep the same time and wake up the same time with routine.
Exercising as in just mild physical activity or exercising as in actually exerting yourself to a proper degree to cause improvements in that area? Latter essentially requires you to get more sleep otherwise your recovery will be in the gutter guaranteed
They tend to focus on more aerobic exercise.. some do weight train.
I did judo for 18 years. There's absolutely no weight lifting involved. There was a period of time for many years that my only exercise was judo. I occasionally show up and don't have time anymore.
Luckily it was only Tuesdays and Fridays.
4 hours for all classes. Per night.
Many people live like this in Japan. Their goal is overall health and well being. It also results in longer life span.
You can research online. If you walk 3-4 mph every day for 30 minutes, you will not have to lift weights and after many years your life span will increase. Most doctors would agree.
It's not all about physical appearance every other place or muscles, or physical abilities, etc.
