The Reality of "Barometric Pressure and Sleep" Before the Rainy Season: About 80% Feel Their Sleep Changes with the Weather!

As we approach the rainy season from late May to June, interest in "meteorological disease," which causes lethargy and headaches, is rising. Amidst common complaints like "I feel sleepy on rainy days" or "I wake up at night when low pressure arrives," Moonmoon Inc., operator of the sleep goods site "Kaimin Land," surveyed 200 men and women aged 20-60 across Japan. The results showed that about 80% (75.5%) feel their sleep quality changes with weather or pressure. Furthermore, "hot and humid days" were cited as the top factor disrupting sleep, even more than "low pressure" or "rain." The study highlights the close relationship between weather and sleep and the reality of how modern people cope with meteorological disease. In summary, the survey reveals a surprisingly close link between weather and sleep during the rainy and typhoon seasons. While 80% feel changes in sleep quality, 20% take no specific measures. Instead of giving up, incorporating small self-care habits like dehumidifying the bedroom or taking a bath before bed can be key to navigating this season comfortably.
