Sleep Syncing: Expose yourself to sunlight every morning
We all know that sleep is an essential pillar of health, equivalent to nutrition
and physical activity. The current guidance for optimal sleep hours can vary
by person, age and other factors, but most people need between seven and
nine hours each night.
The study of sleep health becomes increasingly diverse, more than how long you sleep.
From large scale population studies, researchers are finding that going to bed and
waking up at the same time each day can sharpen cognition and boost mental health,
support immune function. Sleep regularity is a strong predictor of all-cause mortality
compared to sleep duration. When sleep timing is inconsistent, the body may release
stress hormones like cortisol at the wrong times, thereby straining blood vessels
and impairing glucose regulation.

This tofu and edamame soup is so nutritious and like a hug for your stomach.
Tofu is rich in isoflavones, mimic human estrogen, which helps
regulate sleep duration and quality.
Etsuko Noda had been difficult sleeping since she took up more responsibility at work.
She recognized her work performance was declining and decided to visit Shimobe
Onsen Town where she immersed transitioning between hot and cold tubs.
The following morning, she waked up thoroughly refreshed and restful after 9 hours of sound sleep.
Alternating hot and cold immersion improves the autonomic nervous system, allowing
the body to repair itself. Furthermore, embrace a moment of solitude and indulge
in the therapeutic benefits of Onsen while connecting with nature.
