According to the results of Brain Sleep's Sleep Deviation Score® survey of 10,000 people (allocated by gender, age, and prefecture) across all 47 prefectures nationwide, 41.0% of the total responded "very poor" or "poor" when asked to "evaluate their own sleep quality."
Broken down by attribute, the highest percentage was 46.7% for women in their 30s, followed by 43.2% for men in their 30s.
Here are some results that may be helpful in considering the reasons for this. The highest percentage of people who responded "almost always anxious" about their own condition in the past month was 15.3% for women in their 30s, and for both men and women, younger individuals in their 20s and 30s tended to have a higher percentage of people who responded "almost always feeling on edge."
Sleep is significantly affected by mental and brain fatigue. If you constantly feel anxious or on edge due to work or daily life, the tension will persist even when it's time to sleep. This can lead to a decline in sleep quality, such as difficulty falling asleep, shallow sleep, and increased awakenings during the night.
People in their 30s, who often have heavy work responsibilities and experience many environmental changes, tend to sacrifice sleep due to their busy schedules. In such cases, efficiently activating the parasympathetic nervous system at bedtime to switch the body into a relaxed state can improve sleep quality. If you can improve your daily sleep quality, your daytime performance will also likely improve.
There are various ways to activate the parasympathetic nervous system, and it is said that adopting the method that suits you best is the most effective. Taking a long bath, stretching, and meditation are effective methods.
Brain Sleep's health management service, Sleep Deviation Score for Biz, offers video content such as yoga and breathing techniques that can easily activate the parasympathetic nervous system, making it perfect for busy business people who have difficulty switching their autonomic nervous system.
Recently, more people are using devices to measure their sleep. While objective knowledge of sleep is important, subjective evaluation is also very crucial. In sleep medicine validation, objective data measured by electroencephalograms and subjective data called VAS (Visual Analogue Scale) are used. By properly addressing sleep issues that you vaguely feel daily, it may become an opportunity to improve your daytime condition.
What is Sleep Deviation Score for Biz?
This service visualizes employee "sleep" and "engagement" with the company, and by comparing it with sleep deviation scores nationwide, it can identify and improve issues that are not apparent within the company alone.
The data that forms the basis for determining the sleep deviation score is obtained by conducting an annual survey of 10,000 employed individuals across all prefectures, thereby grasping the latest and accurate sleep situation throughout Japan. This newsletter introduces the latest sleep information that could not be fully included in the annual survey reports.
