[Japan's on lockdown and it doesn't teach history anymore. Well, that sounds pretty dystopian.]
If you're curious, sakoku was a foreign relations policy in Japan from 1633-1866. The idea is that no foreigners went in (under pain of death) and no one who left could come back without special permission (under surprise surprise: pain of death). Although Japan wasn't completely closed off during this period. Trading did occur, but it was strictly regulated under particular entities and was held in specific cities.
That's fair. Especially since cramming like that isn't a very good way to master material. Unless you've got an unusually good memory.
Funny you ask that. I'm always tired and my appetite's been awful for years. So I suppose I'll stick with the devil I know. That and it's simpler to schedule things like breaks for eating. Trying to sleep when you don't feel tired is an exercise in frustration.
