I found this video on Japan Probe (a great site for the likes of me who can't understand the language so well yet). The video gives a small taste of what fashion life is like for Japanese shufu (housewives). Just ignore what has got to be the most boring reporter ever.
My favorite comment about the their stress packed lives was this:
Life of the average nihonjin [Japanese]:
6am wake.
610 eat rice and miso soup
620 poop
630 run to train
645-750 sleep on train
800 punch in and stare at desk for two hours
1000 bathroom and vending machine break
1010 do one hour of real work
1110 stare at desk and wait for lunch
1230 lunch time (sleep on a park bench or in car)
1330 return to desk, stare at it for one hour
1430 bathroom break - run to combini[convenience store] for a bento[boxed lunch].
1445 return to desk, eat bento
1515 time for another hour of work
1615 bathroom
1620 40 minutes of work
1700 stare at desk and wait for the manager to go home
1900 manager leaves
1901 run to train
1915-2020 sleep on train
