Jolin Tsai Reveals the Real Reason Behind Her Forced Early Bedtime: Struggles with Shingles, Body Can't Take It Anymore

Pop diva Jolin Tsai recently revealed on her self-hosted podcast that she goes to bed for beauty sleep at almost 9:30 pm every night. Netizens have turned this into a meme, joking about the “Jolin Tsai timezone” and “Jolin Tsai Standard Time.” Beauty-loving fans are even imitating her, forcing themselves to go to bed earlier, and have given her the playful nickname—“The Grown-up Chiho” (a reference to a popular children’s character). However, she actually has compelling reasons behind this habit, as she revealed the real reason in her show.

On the program, when asked how she stays so disciplined over the long term, Jolin candidly shared: “Actually, I started paying more attention to my health after I got shingles (herpes zoster), because my immune system went down at that time. Before that, I was staying up almost every night, and since then, I realized my body simply can’t handle that anymore.”

She laughed during the show, saying she didn’t expect that sharing her energizing sleep schedule would turn into a meme: “Sleeping takes up a large part of my life. For example, as soon as I land I start working, sometimes I sleep as soon as I get on a plane, or in the dressing room—I know this helps me quickly recharge for work. I’m not sure if I can keep being the ‘Grown-up Chiho,’ but the name is really cute.” After her heartfelt interview where “Jolin Tsai reveals she started sleeping early after suffering from shingles around her waist,” it quickly trended on Weibo in China.
