Lack of Sleep

  • Lack of Sleep

    寝不足


    These days I have trouble getting to sleep.
    最近、あまり寝付きが良くありません。

    I think the reason is that I fiddle with my computer and smartphone before going to bed or in bed.
    原因は、寝る前にパソコンやスマートフォンをいじっているせいだと思います。

    We sleep and wake up on a 24-hour cycle — this is thanks to ‘melatonin,’ which is known as a kind of hormones.
    我々が24時間周期で睡眠と起床を繰り返すのは、睡眠ホルモンと呼ばれる「メラトニン」のおかげです。

    During the night, the amount of melatonin secretion increases as it grows dark, and it makes you sleepy.
    夜、暗くなるとメラトニンの分泌量が増え、眠くなります。

    In the morning, the melatonin secretion is suppressed when exposing to the strong light of the sun, and it causes you to awaken.
    朝、太陽の強い光を浴びるとメラトニンの分泌が抑制され、目が覚めます。

    Unfortunately, blue lights generated from computers or smartphones suppress the melatonin secretion just like when you are exposed to the sunlight.
    パソコンやスマートフォンから発生するブルーライトは、太陽の光と同様に、メラトニンの分泌を抑制してしまいます。

    If you want to get a good quality sleep, you should not fiddle with computers nor smartphones in an hour before getting to bed.
    質の良い睡眠をとるためには、寝る前の1時間はパソコンもスマートフォンも触らないことです。
