I'm pretty lucky.

私はかなり幸運で

As long as my animator doesn't turn off his computer, I can stay up all night and never have to worry about sleeping when I wanna watch, well—quite frankly way too many youtube videos.

私のアニメーターがパソコンを閉じない限り、私は一晩中起きることができます。

You humans aren't so fortunate though.

睡眠に関する事を心配する必要がないし、それに

Some of you even tell me you have trouble getting to bed!

正直に言うと、私が見たいyoutubeの動画は多すぎる。

So why can it be so hard to fall asleep?

人間のあなたたちは運が足りません。

Well, to begin, you humans fall asleep by going from a state of being awake to unconscious sleep.

中には、寝つきが悪いという人もいます！

We're a little unclear on the exact process, but basically it starts when you're winding down and your brain exhibits some alpha activity.

なんで寝ることがこんなに難しいのでしょうか。

You eventually enter stage 1 of sleep, where your brain waves slow down and theta-band activity is introduced, with some bursts of alpha activity still occurring.

まず、人間の睡眠は覚醒状態から無意識の状態への移ることで眠りに落ちます。

Later comes stage 2, where the alpha activity dies down.

Then there are stages 3 and 4, characterized by delta waves.

その具体的なプロセスはまだ分かっていませんが、基本はリラックスして、

Finally, you enter the REM stage of sleep, where dreaming is often reported, while you're there you can have awesome adventures with your favorite animation!

脳にα波が出現するところから始まります。

You can spend the rest of the night cycling between different stages.

やがて、あなたは睡眠の第一段階に入り、脳波は緩くになってかつθ波が

But why can sleep be so difficult sometimes?

出現する。同時にα波も活動しています。

Well, aside from worrying about that one thing that you did in middle school several years ago it might have something to do with what you're eating.

そして第二段階に入り、α波は完全に消えています。

Drinks and food with caffeine can cause sleep disturbances, especially when you have them closer to bedtime.

第三と第四段階は主にδ波に変わります。

Protein could also be the culprit.

そして最後に、レム睡眠へと入ります。この時人は夢を見るとされています。

It's an important nutrient for the body, but can be harder to break down and digest than other foods.

夢で存分に好きなアニメで冒険をすく事ができますね。

That, along with it containing tyrosine, an amino acid that aids neurotransmitter production, may make it hard to get some rest if you have a bunch of protein before bed.

目覚める前に、あなたはこの段階を何度か繰り返します。

So put down that protein shake dude. You really don't need it. Just go to bed!

でも、眠れないことがあるのは何故なのでしょうか。

We all know that it can be harder for you humans to fall asleep if there is a bunch of loud noise going on, but some people say it might also be difficult if it's too quiet.

数年前にあなたが中学校でしたことを心配する以外に、

Having your thermostat set too high or low might also lead to some late night restlessness.

あなたが食べているものと何か関係があるかもしれません。

And if you find it hard to get some Z's, you might be a werewolf!

カフェインを含む食べ物や飲み物を摂取すると、睡眠障害を引き起こします。特に眠る時間に近い

Well, probably not, but a recent study did find that people might have a harder time sleeping during a full moon.

時に摂取するとなおさらです。

Their participants took about 5 minutes longer to fall asleep, had a 30% decrease in deep sleep, and slept around 20% less when there was a full moon.

タンパク質の摂取も原因の一つになりえます。

Maybe that's why those lycanthropes are always hungry.

タンパク質は体にとって重要な栄養素ですが、他の食物より消化しにくいことがあります。

They're just tired!

So if you do have trouble falling asleep, the National Sleep Foundation has some tips.

それは、タンパク質にはチロシン、神経伝達物質の生成を助けるアミノ酸が含まれていますので、

They say to carve out about 30 minutes to wind down before you go to bed and try to disconnect from your electronics.

もし体に大量なタンパク質を持っていれば、体は休むことが難しくなります。

But obviously, you know, finish this video first!

なので、高タンパク質飲料飲むのをひかえ、ただ寝ればいいのです。

Maybe try a breathing or relaxation exercise and do your best to wake up around the same time everyday.

もし騒音があると、人は眠りにくくなるということは既にご存知かもしれませんが、

I'm pretty sure my research team is going to get a whole bunch of ads for a new bed after doing research for this video.

静かすぎて眠れない人もいます。

So do you have any tips for falling asleep?

サーモスタットを高すぎたり低めに設定したりすると、夜は落ち着かなくなる可能性があります。

Let me know in the comments below!

眠れないあなた、実は狼人間かもしれません！

And if you enjoyed this video then you're definitely gonna wanna check out the video we did on how much sleep you really need.

違うでしょうが。ですが、最近の研究によると、人は

With the study that looked at older adults, researchers found that sleeping less than 8 hours or more than 10 hours a night was associated with the higher likelihood of health caring use.

満月になると眠れなくなるという研究結果があります。

As always, I'm Blocko and this has been Life Noggin.

実験の参加者は眠つくまでに普段より5分以上かかり、レム睡眠は三割減少して、

Don't forget to keep on thinking!

満月の夜には睡眠が20％減ったという報告があります。
