String Co., Ltd. (Location: Amagasaki City, Hyogo Prefecture; Representative Director: Makoto Matsubara) conducted a survey on "Physical and Mental Conditioning for Quality Sleep and Clothing Noise" targeting ① men and women working in the apparel and lifestyle industries / ② general men and women aged 20-50.
Do you ever feel that even though you try to get enough rest every day, you still feel tired and can't truly relax?
The cause may not only be daily work, but also sensory stress caused by the "color" and "texture" of the loungewear you wear at home.
So, how many people feel burdened by sensory noise in their daily lives?
And what kind of comfort do they seek in loungewear for their upcoming rest time?
Therefore, String Co., Ltd. (https://ap-string.com/), which sells conditioning wear "NUOLS" (https://nuols-conditioning-wear.web.app/), conducted a survey on "Physical and Mental Conditioning for Quality Sleep and Clothing Noise" targeting ① men and women working in the apparel and lifestyle industries / ② general men and women aged 20-50.

"Work" was the number one factor preventing a smooth transition to a state of rest at night!
First, when asked "Do you usually make an effort to maintain your physical and mental condition?", the following results were obtained.
While approximately 90% of men and women working in the apparel and lifestyle industries responded "Yes, I do," only about half of general men and women aged 20-50 responded "Yes, I do."
In particular, the approximately threefold difference in the percentage of respondents who answered "Always conscious" suggests that men and women working in the apparel and lifestyle industries are more conscious of their own condition compared to general men and women aged 20-50.
Although there was a difference in awareness of conditioning, were they able to smoothly transition to a state of rest at the end of the day?
When asked "Are you able to smoothly transition from the tension of daytime work and activities to a state of rest at night?", the following results were obtained.
Only about 20% of men and women working in the apparel and lifestyle industries responded "No," indicating a tendency for them to transition to a state of rest relatively smoothly.
On the other hand, about half of general men and women aged 20-50 responded "No," suggesting that daytime tension may persist into the night, potentially leading to chronic fatigue and decreased sleep quality.
So, what are the factors hindering a smooth transition to a state of rest?
When those who answered "Not really" or "Not at all" to the previous question were asked about "Factors that prevent a smooth transition from the tension of daytime work and activities to a state of rest at night," the most common response was "Work" (56.2%), followed by "Human relationships" (38.3%) and "Information overload from social media and news" (21.6%).
It appears that many people are unable to smoothly transition to a state of rest due to stress factors such as "work" and "human relationships."
"Information overload from social media and news" also ranked high, suggesting that the constant flow of information through digital devices may be a modern factor that awakens the brain and inhibits relaxation.
What do people do to maintain their physical and mental condition and smoothly transition to a state of rest at night?
When asked "Specifically, what do you do to maintain your physical and mental condition?", the following results were obtained.
Men and women working in the apparel and lifestyle industries tended to emphasize approaches that involve creating their own environment and appealing to the five senses, such as "bedding," "music," and "saunas."
On the other hand, 20-50
