The situation of “lack of sleep” among Japan people
Japan is said to be a “sleep-deprived country” that is rarely seen in the world.
Certainly, everyone is busy with work and play while sleeping, everyone is sleeping when they sit on the commuter train, some people are standing and sleeping hanging on the strap, boring classes and meetings make them sleepy, parliamentarians are sleeping in the chamber, and if you think that this is a normal scene, it is actually abnormal from the perspective of foreigners.
It is said that the reason why you feel sleepy anytime and anywhere is because you don’t get enough sleep.
For example, the average sleep time of Americans is 7 hours and 19 minutes, France is 7 hours and 29 minutes, the United Kingdom is 7 hours and 33 minutes, and most major economies sleep more than 7 hours.
On the other hand, the average sleep time of Japan people is 6 hours and 18 minutes.
It was the lowest among the more than 50 countries and regions surveyed.
I think it would be better if you slept for 6 hours.
This feeling is wrong.
People Japan have a lower priority on “sleep time.”
If you’re a working adult, you’ll spend most of your time working first.
Whether you want to take time for your hobbies, meet friends, or study to improve your skills depends on the person, but it seems that everyone is the same when it comes to using the “extra” time to sleep at the end.
So, as I get busier, my sleep time is cut off more and more.
In fact, you should get the necessary amount of sleep first, and then decide on a timetable for activities.
According to the previous survey, countries with higher GDP per capita slept better.
“Spare yourself while you sleep” is outdated, and if you want to work efficiently, please sleep well.
By the way, if you are sleeping properly but drowsiness attacks during the day, it may be jet lag.
When traveling abroad or going back and forth between areas with a large time difference, the time you spend carving in your body and the time you stay at the place of stay are different and cause you to feel unwell, which is called “jet lag”, but even if you do not travel, if the time you sleep differs from day to day, you may be in a similar state.
The time in the middle of the time when you fall asleep and when you wake up is called “central sleep time”.
If this is not a certain time every day, the biological clock will go crazy.
This is called “social jet lag.”
That’s why it’s normal to oversleep on Saturdays and Sundays and get sick on Mondays, and recently there are many cases where people come to work half of the week and work from home the rest, and some people wake up later because they don’t have time to commute on home days.
Our bodies seem to be more delicate than we think.
The reason why we have been told to “live a regular life” for a long time is to prevent our biological clock from going haywire, and we are not simply telling you to live seriously.
Experts say that if you want to get back to your usual lack of sleep on your days off, you should go to bed earlier so that the “central time” does not slip, but in addition to “oversleeping in the morning”, “staying up late” is also a pleasure on the weekend.
Now, I know that sleep is very important for health, but it doesn’t mean that you can just dive into the futon.
The problem is the quality of sleep.
The results of a study published last fall showed a new indicator of sleep quality called “sleep rest.”
This is a subjective five-point evaluation of how “refreshed” the person feels when he or she wakes up, and multiplies this with the data of sleep time to calculate the high risk of death.
Naturally, the risk of death is higher in the working generation for those who sleep less and do not feel “refreshed,” but interestingly, data from the elderly aged 65 and over showed that those who slept for more than 8 hours but felt less “refreshed” had the highest risk of death.
He is sleeping but not sleeping, and is squirming in his futon.
This is the least good.
He said that it is important to keep the day and night balanced and stay active during the day in order to extend healthy life expectancy.
