Survey Shows 70% of Workers Feel Fatigue in Holiday-Free June, Sleep Issues Worsen During Rainy Season

June is a month with no consecutive holidays for about two months after Golden Week until the next public holiday, "Marine Day." Combined with high humidity and low pressure during the rainy season, it is a period when many people suffer from mild fatigue and persistent tiredness. Moonmoon Inc., which operates the sleep-gear recommendation site "Kaimin Land," conducted a survey on "June Fatigue and Sleep" targeting 200 employed men and women nationwide. The results showed that 70.0% of respondents experienced physical and mental fatigue in June, highlighting how the pressure of having no holidays and decreased sleep quality are closely related.

### Survey Background June is a month without a single public holiday. Facing a calendar with a distant next holiday is a common experience for many workers. Without long weekends to recover, and with weather fluctuations during the rainy season, the autonomic nervous system is easily disrupted, leading to increased sleep troubles. This survey focuses on the relationship between "holiday-free June" and sleep/fatigue, shedding light on the issues workers face and their countermeasures.

### Survey Summary - 70.0% of respondents experienced physical and mental fatigue in June. - Approximately 80% (69.5%) are conscious of the lack of holidays in June. - The top sleep issue is "difficulty waking up refreshed in the morning" (16.0%), followed by "fatigue not recovered after sleep" (13.5%). - The most common countermeasure is "sleeping and waking up at the same time every day" (16.5%). - 31.0% answered that "sleep quality improves in months with consecutive holidays," showing a direct link between holidays and good sleep. *Note: When citing this survey, please include the URL of "Kaimin Land" (https://intiinti.com/goodsleep/).
