Description

(Summary)

The protagonist is 25-year-old Mayu Takemiya, who works at a dairy company. She is overworked and sleep-deprived as she often has to deal with overseas customers. Her lack of sleep has caused her to have a poor skin condition, and she is growing clumsy. She then meets a young sleep researcher named Takumi Kisaragi, who tells her that her fatigue is entirely due to sleep debt.

But what is sleep debt? How could Mayu possibly get sound sleep with such a busy schedule? Takumi reveals to Mayu a science-backed solution for improving her quality of sleep.

Seiji Nishino

Dr. Seiji Nishino is a professor in the Department of Psychiatry at Stanford University, and the head of the Sleep and Circadian Neurobiology Lab (SCN lab) of the same institution. He was born in Osaka, Japan, in 1955. In 1987, he went from Osaka Medical College to study for two years at the Stanford Center for Sleep Sciences and Medicine at Stanford University. Much of his research focuses on finding the cause for excessive daytime sleepiness brought on by hypersomnia and narcolepsy.

After discovering a causative gene for narcolepsy in dogs in 1999, he began group studies in 2000 with the hope of stopping what causes narcolepsy in humans.

He was appointed head of the SCN Lab in 2005. The lab researches the mechanisms involved in sleep and waking up on a genetic and molecular level.

The original version of this book created a lot of buzz on various media outlets, became a bestseller, and sold over 300,000 copies as part of a unique series of books. It will also be translated for various international markets, including Korea, Taiwan, China, Turkey, and Brazil.

The Stanford Sleep Medicine Center, established by Dr. William C. Dement in 1963, is considered the top sleep research body in the world, as it has produced numerous researchers in the field.
