"From SDGs to the Era of SWGs (Sustainable Well-being Goals)"

Our company supports April Dream, which aims to make April 1st a day for announcing dreams. This press release is the dream of "Ryuta Shiki."

■ Japan's fatigue situation is at an all-time high. Approximately 78.5% experience "fatigue."

According to the latest survey, the percentage of people in Japan who are "fatigued (low frequency + high frequency)" has reached approximately 78.5%, meaning about 71.72 million people feel some form of fatigue.

Fatigue is particularly severe among the working generation aged 20-40, with 55.9% of those in their 20s experiencing "high-frequency fatigue." If this continues, it will be difficult to maintain the vitality of society.

This situation is not merely an individual problem but a significant challenge directly linked to a decline in overall societal vitality, affecting childcare, education, management, and more.

■ The correlation between Japanese "sleep debt" and "chronic fatigue"

Based on the latest survey results, we illustrate the close relationship between Japan's fatigue situation and sleep from three perspectives.

① [Sleep Duration] The crisis of 1 in 5 people sleeping "less than 5 hours."

Currently, 20.9% of Japanese people are in a critical state of "short sleep duration," sleeping less than 5 hours. Compared to 2024, the proportion of those sleeping less than 5 hours has slightly increased, indicating that Japan's overall sleep deprivation is not being resolved but is showing signs of worsening.

② [Correlation with Fatigue Level] "Energetic people" secure more sleep.

There is a clear correlation between sleep duration and vitality.

• Less than 5 hours of sleep: Only 14.0% are "energetic people."

• 6-8 hours of sleep: The proportion of "energetic people" rises to 58.5%.

Even among those who secure 8 hours or more of sleep, the proportion of energetic people is high, suggesting that securing sufficient sleep duration is an "absolute prerequisite" for maintaining physical and mental health, as indicated by the data.

③ [Sleep Quality] The presence or absence of "mid-sleep awakening" determines the outcome of fatigue.

Not only the "quantity" but also the "quality" of sleep is extremely important. Among those who are "frequently fatigued," 39.7% experience "mid-sleep awakening" (waking up in the middle of the night), which is a shocking difference of about 5 times that of "energetic people (8.1%)." Conversely, about 91.9% of energetic people do not experience mid-sleep awakening and achieve deep, high-quality sleep.

■ The "sleep and diet" reform behind a 14kg weight loss.

In the past, I was on the verge of physical and mental breakdown due to a harsh lifestyle of 15 hours of work and 3-4 hours of sleep per day. At that time, in addition to sleep deprivation, my weight increased to 74kg due to an unbalanced diet with excessive protein and carbohydrates. However, by improving sleep quality and fundamentally reforming my diet, I lost 14kg (currently 60kg) and achieved a dramatic physical and mental regeneration.

I am convinced that this "self-regulating technique" is what Japan needs most right now.

■ My dream: Mindfulness as a new "infrastructure" for Japan.

My dream is to create a society where **"business people across Japan achieve deep sleep and healthy bodies, waking up excited on Monday mornings."**

Mindfulness is an advanced method already adopted in public education and at a national level overseas. In Japan, its scientific basis is also being established, with evidence from the representative of the mindfulness certified instructor course I took, stating that "sleep quality improves with 3 months of practice," published in PubMed, a global medical journal database.

■ 2026: Ryuta Shiki's "Well-being Revolution"

1. Integrated approach of "sleep x breathing x posture": Based on my own experience, I will deliver sessions that dramatically improve sleep quality in a short time, even for those who habitually sleep less than 5 hours, to business people nationwide.

2. From SDGs to SWGs (Sustainable Well-being Goals): We will create a vibrant society where the next generation of children can look forward to "growing up and working!" To achieve this, it is essential for each individual to achieve well-being. We will support the cultivation of physical and mental balance, which is the foundation of well-being.

3. Social implementation through systematization: We will build a system to make mindfulness a daily habit in corporate welfare programs and local communities. By promoting mindfulness, I will create a future where physical, mental, and social aspects are all balanced, and the quality of life (QOL) is improved.
