| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We have performed many studies that have clarified how different aspects of sleep significantly contribute to "presenteeism": a condition resulting in decreased productivity due to physical and mental ailments that carry immense social costs. Specifically, it is crucial for young people to secure sufficient sleep duration, and for everyone to improve sleep quality and prevent sleepiness.
Furthermore, we have determined through a large-scale survey what kind of sleep hygiene (lifestyle habits that influence sleep) could affect sleep. Based on these findings, we conducted a randomized controlled trial. The tailored sleep hygiene intervention improved not only sleep but also productivity.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
様々な疾病がもたらす健康上のコストは莫大なものであり、改善が急務です。その中でも、「仕事に従事はしているが、心身の不調のために生産性が損なわれる状態」による生産性低下(プレゼンティズム)による損失が最も大きいこと、そして、その中でも睡眠の問題が多くの額を占めていることが明らかになっています。
本研究は、社会全体の損失を削減し、また、社会全体に利益をもたらすことができる方法論を開発したという点で、非常に重要な意義を持っています。さらに睡眠の問題は様々な疾病のリスクとなることが示されており、潜在的にはこれらの問題も未然に予防することができます。
