Brain Sleep Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Atsushi Hirota; hereinafter "Brain Sleep") will launch a promotional project to raise awareness of the importance of sleep quality for "everyone who sacrifices sleep to fight." This promotional project focuses on businesspeople working in the "mass media and advertising industry," which had the lowest sleep deviation value score among all industries in Brain Sleep's "Sleep Deviation Value® Survey 2024." The project will communicate relatable experiences and facts based on sleep, such as transit advertisements featuring common experiences under the theme of "#Iworkedhardwithoutsleepingbut...", and a tie-up project with popular manga artist Kappy, author of the manga "Left-Handed Ellen," which is set in a major advertising agency. The aim is to support people in improving their daily performance by getting high-quality sleep, even if they cannot easily increase their sleep duration. Background of the initiative Brain Sleep has been conducting the "Sleep Deviation Value®️ Survey" annually since 2020, with the aim of visualizing the actual state of sleep among Japanese people. This survey targets 10,000 employed individuals across all 47 prefectures (allocated by gender, age, and prefecture) and quantitatively evaluates subjective sleep assessments from a wide range of perspectives, including self-reported symptoms and sleep habits. In this survey, when 10,000 employed individuals were categorized by industry, the "mass media and advertising industry" consistently showed a lower sleep deviation value score compared to other industries since the initial survey in 2020. The most recently announced 2024 survey also revealed that this industry ranked last among all industries. The "Sleep Deviation Value®️ Survey" score visualizes and quantifies sleep status from various angles, and it also indicates that people in the "mass media and advertising" industry, in particular, tend to have low "sleep quality." Furthermore, data from the past five years of the same survey confirms that "sleep quality" tends to have a higher correlation with work performance, such as productivity, compared to "sleep duration."※ Not limited to "mass media and advertising," the daily sleep quality of Japanese people, who have the shortest sleep duration in the world, should be improved. Brain Sleep will implement a promotional project aimed at "everyone who sacrifices sleep to fight" to communicate the importance of "sleep quality." *Reference URL: https://prtimes.jp/main/html/rd/p/000000198.000046684.html Initiative Details 1.Transit Advertising ・Strap Advertisements Content: "Things that happen when you try hard without sleeping" – strap advertisements will take over the train car Line: Tokyo Metro Ginza Line Period: June 17 (Mon) – 23 (Sun) ・Beside the door Content: "Sleep deprivation reduces performance by 20%" A message that conveys the frustration of having 20% of the text reduced, based on the results of "the relationship between productivity and sleep."

Therefore, if you are experiencing any sleep problems, please try the "Brain Sleep Pillow"! Many businesspeople around me (especially fans of my manga, Left-Handed Ellen), including myself, use it. Since I started using it, I no longer feel sleepy during the day, so I feel like I'm sleeping deeply. I highly recommend it, especially for people who use their brains for work! I hope that everyone who reads this article will make good use of sleep and aim to become an "ace creator" who can always perform at their best in front of others. 3.
