Doraemon's sleeping place is inside the closet! Nobita is said to be a "sleeping genius" who can fall asleep in just 0.93 seconds. This is a children's book that allows you to learn about "sleep science" while reading the "Doraemon" manga, which features secret gadgets related to sleep and dreams. Good sleep is good for your body, brain, and mind! This book scientifically explains how the body and brain work while asleep, and conveys how important sleep is for children who are still growing. Particularly important is the time at the beginning of sleep, which Nishino calls the "golden 90 minutes." Sleeping deeply and soundly during this time promotes the growth of bones and muscles, and also boosts immunity. Information is organized in the brain, firmly establishing important memories and washing away unpleasant memories. Nobita, the "sleeping genius," may be able to attribute his cheerfulness and quick recovery to the quality of his sleep. Book Overview We cover a wide range of topics, including simple questions about sleep and dreams, fortune telling, and even talk about artificial hibernation in the near future! ・Surprising! Comparing how animals sleep ・The mysteries of the body clock -What are REM and non-REM sleep? ・Growth hormone and the autonomic nervous system -What causes sleep disorders, snoring, bedwetting, and nightmares? ・Sleeping stories of great people and celebrities ・Dream fortune telling ・Dream legends of the world ・What are hibernation and summer hibernation? …etc. "Doraemon" manga includes 12 volumes "Nobita, the Sleeping Genius," "Let the Intruder Sleep!", "The Sandman on a Sleepless Night," "Dekisugi's Good Sleep Plan," "The Dream Channel," etc. Also included is "I'm the King of the Night World!", a work not yet published in the Tentomushi Comics. Comment from supervisor Seiji Nishino I don't know of any comic that has been loved by children all over the world for as long as "Doraemon". I've known for a long time that Nobita was a terrible sleeper, and that for some reason Doraemon woke up in the closet. More than that, I think there were many stories that dealt with dreams and sleep. With this background in mind, I am very happy and honored to be able to supervise "Doraemon Exploration World: The Mysteries of Sleep and Dreams". I moved to the United States in 1987 to conduct sleep research. There are now many sleep researchers conducting sleep research day and night all over the world, but until REM sleep was discovered 70 years ago in the 1950s, sleep was not an attractive field of research. This was because sleep was thought to have no important role other than to relieve drowsiness and fatigue. However, with the discovery of REM sleep, it was discovered that people often dream during REM sleep, and that memories are organized and consolidated during this period, and many researchers began to take an interest in sleep. As I have emphasized many times in this article, sleep, especially for children, is related to brain development and is known to be more important than sleep for adults. Public interest in sleep has been increasing in recent years, but the amount of sleep that Japanese people, in particular, get is getting shorter every year, and is now about an hour shorter for both adults and children than it was 70 years ago when REM sleep was discovered. The main reason for this is that people are becoming nocturnal and going to bed later and later. The nocturnal lifestyle is influenced by our sleepless 24-hour society, and the COVID-19 pandemic has also led to a trend of people going to bed even later. The same is true for children's sleep, and inadequate sleep can lead to reduced learning ability, poor health, and even school absenteeism. It is clear that if this issue is not addressed early, it will have a significant impact on their future. This book attempts to improve children's sleep with the help of Doraemon. Sleep medicine has a short history, and not everything has been elucidated yet. It is still a black box, and there is still much we do not understand. In this situation, as a sleep researcher, I have supervised this book with the hope of providing as much accurate information as possible and helping families to reaffirm the importance of sleep together. I hope this book will be of some use in the healthy development of the minds and bodies of children, who will represent the future.
