With the increase in working from home, the number of people who manage their physical condition to sleep for sleeping hours may be increasing.However, Japan has been said to be the best in the world due to a long sleep time.Moreover, the most recent surveys have become even shorter.I'm a short sleeper, so some people are strong that they don't have to sleep for 7 to 8 hours.However, in recent studies, real short sleepers are due to clock gene mutations, less than 1 % of the population.In most cases, it's just a belief.People can get used to the discomfort of the body.If you continue to sleep for about one or two hours every day, there are many people who are not aware of sleep deprivation due to lack of sleep due to lack of sleep.Sleep is not only quality, but also timing and quantity.If you can sleep deeply, it doesn't matter if you sleep.
