Medical Blind Spot: Blood Sugar and Triglycerides Don't Decrease Due to 'Sleep-Related Oxygen Deficiency'... Solution (New Discovery)
Toratani Co., Ltd. announces a new discovery that subtle sleep-related oxygen deficiency (hypopnea) is a cause of persistent high blood sugar and triglycerides, based on 3D design knowledge. They will launch a series to raise awareness of how nighttime breathing quality significantly affects metabolism and present solutions.

Behind this is "sleep-related oxygen deficiency (hypopnea)," a topic rarely discussed in medicine.
In fact, metabolism is more influenced by "nighttime breathing" than "daytime effort."
We are releasing the results of our analysis of airway physics from the perspective of apparel 3D design.
## Increasing Number of People Whose Numbers Don't Decrease Despite Efforts
Many people report that "blood sugar levels don't drop" and "triglycerides remain high" despite dietary restrictions, exercise, and medication.
The hidden reason behind this could be "shallow nighttime breathing = hypopnea."
The angle of the head and airway significantly affects oxygen supply.
## Sleep-Related Oxygen Deficiency Stops Metabolism
When oxygen is insufficient, the body prioritizes life maintenance and enters an "energy-saving mode" where it:
- Slows down metabolism.
- Lowers body temperature.
- Doesn't burn fat.
- Makes it difficult to process blood sugar.
In other words,
just a lack of oxygen at night makes it harder for blood sugar and triglycerides to decrease.
## The Problem Isn't Apnea, But the Preceding "Hypopnea"
Many people think there's no problem as long as they don't have "sleep apnea syndrome."
However, in reality, "hypopnea," which doesn't reach apnea, is overwhelmingly more common.
Hypopnea is a "hidden oxygen deficiency" that occurs when the airway slightly narrows.
The person themselves is unaware, and it's difficult to detect in examinations.
## The Impact of "2-3 Degree Throat Angle" Revealed by 3D Design
I have been involved in apparel 3D design for many years.
Analyzing sleeping posture and airway shape from that perspective,
this analysis revealed that a change of just 2-3 degrees in the throat angle significantly reduces oxygen supply.
While "apnea" has received much attention in medicine,
"hypopnea," which precedes it, has been largely unstudied.
## Hypopnea Can Happen to Anyone
Elderly, women, hunchbacks/rounded shoulders, ill-fitting pillows, mouth breathing, fatigue/stress.
When these conditions overlap,
anyone can experience oxygen deficiency during sleep.
## Future Awareness Series to Be Released
Behind the unchanging blood sugar and triglyceride levels lies a blind spot in medicine: "sleep-related oxygen deficiency."
"This awareness series is systematized based on Representative Toratani's many years of 3D design knowledge and his own health improvement achievements, and will continue to disseminate information on the physics of the airway, sleeping posture, and the relationship between breathing."
