Why do we rarely hear about sudden deaths among Westerners?

Of course they have many health issues, but there's one thing I genuinely think is worth learning from them:
They rarely feel guilty about taking a rest.
This is actually quite difficult.
Especially in East Asian environments with long-term high intensity, fast pace, and intense competition, when many people stop and rest, what goes through their minds isn't "finally I can rest," but rather:
• Will others overtake me?
• Am I being too slack by resting now?
• Will this make me look like I'm not putting in enough effort?
• Will others think I'm unreliable?
For many people, rest is no longer a physical need, but rather a psychological burden.
But when I chat with some Westerners, they ask you first:
"Are you tired?"
I say:
"Yeah, a bit."
They naturally reply:
"Then just rest."
No rumination, no harsh self-judgment.
For them, resting when tired is a very normal thing—no need to explain or prove you're not being lazy.
The more I think about it, the more I realize this habit is actually quite important.
Because many people don't suddenly collapse physically; they gradually wear themselves down by staying in a state where they're already exhausted but don't allow themselves to stop.
The truly scary thing is when you start feeling guilty about resting itself.
