Toyoake City in central Japan has proposed an ordinance urging residents to limit smartphone use to two hours daily outside work or school to prevent health issues like sleep problems. The draft, which carries no penalties, also advises elementary students to avoid phones after 9:00 pm and junior high students and older after 10:00 pm. Mayor Masafumi Koki said the move aims to curb excessive screen time, but the plan has sparked online backlash, with many calling the two-hour limit unrealistic and arguing that smartphone use should be a family decision.
