| Popis: | Now the world works day and night, termed as the ‘unsleeping society’. Consequently, an increasing number of people are facing a biological cycle opposite to the natural day–night cycle by ‘working at night and sleeping in the daytime’. Compared with other countries, Japan has one of the highest incidences of short sleep duration similar to South Korea. Lack of sleep greatly affects our daily lives. It is now time for us to reconsider the importance of sleep to experience a high-quality and healthy life both physically and psychologically. Since the establishment of a funded course module on Somnology in Shiga University of Medical Science in 2004, the authors have been implementing awareness-raising activities on the significance of sleep not only for students in higher education but also on a broader social spectrum. |
