    Japan is only 3:45 hours? How? Are those salarymen working 12hrs per day in front of their computers not counted? Or is it offset by kids not allowed to use smartphones at school?

      I think japan still uses a lot of paper in the administrative side of things, that could bring it down too. Still seems like a data collection issue based on how much of an outlier it is.

      The average American works more hours than the average Japanese oddly enough.
