Sleep App Official Release! Features Groundbreaking New Sleep Method! Optimal Sleep and Peak Performance at Work with Sleepdays – A Japanese Innovation!
TWO Inc.
Sleepdays does more than just analyze your sleep; it was developed based on the groundbreaking Circadian Sleep™ Method (a groundbreaking method that fuses somnology* and chronobiology) and makes recommendations throughout the day on how to time your activities to support you in restoring your circadian rhythm to a healthy state. All people are born with a circadian rhythm (internal clock) to regulate their daily cycle.
TWO Inc. (Head Office: Minato, Tokyo; CEO Yoshikazu Azuma), the total sleep solutions company, will debut “Sleepdays” for iPhone and Android, the world’s first application to feature the Circadian Sleep™ Method, on March 24, 2016 (Thurs).
Sleep App Official Release! Features of “Sleepdays”
So you think high quality sleep comes from just having a good bed and pillow? The quality of your sleep is heavily influenced by your activities throughout the day. If you spend too little time asleep then, even with a proper diet and moderate exercise, you cannot achieve high quality sleep. On the contrary, even when you sleep a sufficient amount of time, if you place a burden on your body by drinking alcohol immediately prior, the quality of your sleep will decline in the same way.
Sleepdays does more than just analyze your sleep; it was developed based on the groundbreaking Circadian Sleep™ Method (a groundbreaking method that fuses somnology* and chronobiology) and makes recommendations throughout the day on how to time your activities to support you in restoring your circadian rhythm to a healthy state. All people are born with a circadian rhythm (internal clock) to regulate their daily cycle. When our circadian rhythm is disrupted, we experience not only a reduction in the quality of our sleep, but also a decline in our performance throughout the day. Disruptions can also impact our efficiency at work, diet, and efforts to improve our physical condition. In addition to analyzing and recording your sleeping patterns, Sleepdays also make recommendations throughout the day based on a unique method. Through the provision of these two functions, Sleepdays supports you in restoring your circadian rhythm to a healthy state. By restoring your circadian rhythm, you will be able to induce a cycle where informed lifestyle decisions throughout the day lead to high quality sleep, and high quality sleep leads to an increase in the quality of your performance throughout the day.
According to Hideyuki Negoro MD, PhD (*see attached profile), who oversaw the development of the Circadian Sleep™ Method, “Restoring your circadian rhythm allows your autonomic nervous system to maintain a healthy balance. As a result, your sleep throughout the night and performance throughout the day will experience dramatic improvements. Simply put, this process will allow you to perform at 120% of your regular capacity.”
With the evolution of technology, the world has become a more convenient and efficient place. In contrast, however, sleep has come to be neglected. Sleepdays has been designed for those who may have tried to record and manage their sleeping patterns in the past, but did not know how to elicit improvement thereafter – busy people who want to experience simultaneous improvement in both the quality of their sleep and their performance at work throughout the day.
A Groundbreaking Sleep Method That Leverages Japanese Technology
The “Circadian Sleep™ Method – A Groundbreaking Sleep Method
That Fuses Somnology and Chronobiology
Features of “Sleepdays”
App name: Sleepdays
Release date: March 24, 2016
Compatible OS: iOS 8.0 onward (iPhone) / Android 4.2 onward
Cost: Free
Language support: Japanese / English
Lifestyle Recommendations
Sleepdays analyses your sleeping patterns based on unique algorithms and recommends activities throughout the day to restore your circadian rhythm to a healthy state.
Sleep Monitor
The sleep monitor assesses the quality of your sleep, time taken to fall asleep, and sleep efficiency. Its most important feature is the ability to identify disruptions in your internal clock.
Sleep Aids
Breathing techniques to support the autonomic nervous system; Sleep Sounds
Smart Alarm
Function to wake you in a light phase of sleep.
▶ The day begins when you fall asleep. Start by understanding your sleeping patterns.
●Sleep Analysis
Using the sensor inside in your device, Sleepdays assesses the quality and quantity of your sleep by monitoring your body movements – how much you toss and turn. In addition to presenting you with a sleep score based on this assessment, Sleepdays also allows you to identify finer details such as time taken to fall asleep, total sleep time, and sleep efficiency.
●Rhythm Check
The results of sleep quality / quantity assessments allow you to understand the rhythm of your internal clock. As this rhythm is presented as a graph, disruptions in your internal clock can be easily identified.
▶ Maximize your performance throughout the day – at work and beyond!
●Lifestyle Recommendations
Sleepdays uses sleep analysis to make recommendations on activity timing that are tailored specifically to you. In addition to activities that influence the quality of your sleep the following night, such as eating, taking a bath, and going to bed, Sleepdays also allows you to determine the optimal times to take full advantage of your capabilities in conceiving innovative ideas or maximizing your performance.
●Nap Timer
A nap in the early afternoon has numerous positive effects, including improved memory and enhanced productivity. Sleepdays allows you to take a leisurely nap by setting a custom timer.
▶ A wide range of sleeping aids to support optimal sleep
●Breathing Techniques
A function to help ready your mind and body for sleep, breathing techniques can help you to relax. Relaxing your whole body helps you to drift off more easily. You can choose from a range of options: basic breathing techniques, relaxing breathing techniques, and pre-sleep breathing techniques.
●Sleep Sounds
Sleep Sounds is a collection of healing music to relax your mind. You can choose from a range of music to suit your mood at the time.
●Smart Alarm
A function to wake you in the lightest phase of sleep, at a time close to where you set the alarm
Future Developments
Going forward, development is scheduled to enhance Sleepdays by adding a feature to alleviate the jet-lag associated with overseas business trips and expeditions; a function to help shift workers, who have irregular sleeping patterns, regulate their internal clocks; and a function to aid the user in adjusting their internal clock ahead of an important event, such as a game or presentation, to ensure optimal performance at a specified date and time.
