An Attempt to Improve the Sleep Satisfaction of Toyama Residents with Government Agencies.

Abstract

This review outlines an attempt to improve the sleep satisfaction of Toyama residents with government agencies. Women’s sleep satisfaction and men’s lack of exercise are the lowest among the 47 prefectures in 2018 of Toyama Prefecture. The percentage of people with high blood sugar exceed the national average for both men and women. Therefore, the government first attempted to improve sleep habits to improve health by improving the lifestyle habits of the prefecture’s citizens. In 2021, in order to improve sleep habits, companies and family members formed teams and worked on improving sleep. So, we set nine lifestyle behavior goals to improve sleep. A total of 243 teams ( 1,352 people ) took on the challenge of improving their living behavior for three weeks. Actions that made it easier to continue were having an early dinner, drinking a glass of water before going to bed, and opening the curtains upon waking up. Teams of 8 or 9 people working to improve their lives had the best rate of improvement. From this, it was suggested that improvement effects can be achieved when efforts are made by individual departments or by the entire company rather than by a small number of people.
