How was your sleep research during the three-day Good Sleep Day event?

Our sleep tends to be shorter and shallower during the full moon.
Just as this commonly accepted view may lead us to expect, we found that on the night of the full moon during this Good Sleep Day event, all researchers’ worldwide average sleep duration was 1 min. and 51 sec. shorter than average.

Let’s do our best to sleep better during the next full moon!
The next Good Sleep Day event will be from Jun. 29 to Jul. 1.

This Month’s Sleep Tip

Here’s this month’s sleep tip!
We hope all you researchers find this useful for your daily sleep.

​​What is Sleepiness?

Our brains are always keeping track of how long we’ve been awake. This varies from person to person, but most people become sleepy after 14 to 15 hours have passed since getting up.

Our brains also keep track of the cumulative amount of time we’ve been awake over the past several days, and we become sleepy when that cumulative amount of time grows too long.

The only way to rid ourselves of sleepiness is to sleep. If you are tired from overwork, just lying down and remaining still might seem like it would be helpful—but if you don’t actually sleep, you will never reduce your sleepiness.

However, information such as where exactly in the brain the sleepiness mechanism is located and how it works, as well as how the brain keeps track of time, has yet to be found, and is being researched even now.

A recent theory suggests that phosphorylation, a chemical reaction with proteins in the brain, may play a role in making us feel sleepy.
