Conducted “Verification of employee sleep improvement through clothing using SELFLAME(R)” with CyberAgent Co., Ltd.
*
TENTIAL Co., Ltd. (located in Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo, Representative Director and CEO: Yutaro Nakanishi, hereinafter referred to as “TENTIAL”), which develops conditioning brands with the aim of realizing a health-positive society, will partner with CyberAgent Co., Ltd. in May 2024. We jointly conducted a “verification of employee sleep improvement through clothing using SELFLAME(R).” *
We conducted a subjective evaluation of sleep quality, daytime sleepiness, productivity, work style, stress, etc. using an
interview-type web service, and an objective evaluation using a sleep measurement device, using SELFLAME (R). We measured changes in sleep-related indicators before and after using the wear.
Verification experiment overview
Verification purpose: Verification of employee sleep improvement through clothing using SELFLAME(R)
Test item: Wear using SELFLAME(R), Mesh
Control item: Dry shirt/pants (100% polyester)
Measurement items: Subjective sleep evaluation (survey, OSA-MA), objective sleep evaluation
Number of people tested: 29 CyberAgent employees
Test method: Crossover test method
Target period: Test product and control product each used for 7 days (total period 14 days)
* Demonstration experiment results *
By using clothing using SELFLAME(R), improvements were seen in all items of “subjective sleep evaluation.”
As a result of the verification, the use of clothing using SELFLAME(R) significantly improved the subjective evaluation of “sleep quality” and “daytime sleepiness” by 3.1 points and 2.6 points, respectively, exceeding the national average. .
Because 4 people had incomplete answers, analysis was conducted with n=25 people. (Reference) For data on 10,000 people across Japan, refer to sleep deviation data supervised by Brain Sleep.
* Sleep deviation values decreased for people with sleep deviation values of 40-45, and increased for people with sleep deviation values of 45-50 and 60 or above. *
*Regarding the amount of economic loss due to sleep deprivation* This verification showed that the use of clothing using SELFLAME(R) improves the quality of sleep and reduces daytime sleepiness, reducing the annual loss due to lack of sleep per person by an average of 170,000 yen. It was done.
In addition, despite the small-scale verification of 29 people, the total economic loss was reduced by 4.7 million yen, and if the software using SELFLAME(R) was introduced company-wide, CyberAgent It showed that the overall economic loss amount could be improved by 820 million yen per year. *1
(*1) Amount of economic loss = Personnel costs per person per day (bonuses, various allowances, legal welfare expenses, etc.) × 2. Decrease in performance × Number of days with symptoms Decrease in performance = 1
– { (quantity of work quality of work) / 2 × 1/10
} *Calculated assuming one year of work is 5 days a week (52 weeks) *Personnel costs are based on OpenWork data as a reference value
*Managers in particular had lower sleep quality, which was improved by wearing SELFLAME(R). *
Improved sleep quality among managers could be considered as an effective approach to improving company-wide performance.
*Comment by Mr. Hajime, Manager of Business Promotion Office, CyberAgent Co., Ltd.*
The impetus for this project was that the human resources department received specific sleep-related issues such as “I can’t sleep” and “I can’t get rid of fatigue even when I sleep.” Due to the impact of the coronavirus pandemic, remote work and work styles that utilize digital tools have spread, creating a convenient and borderless work environment, but new health issues have also come to light, such as a decrease in the amount of exercise and stress caused by online communication. Against this background, we held a sleep seminar with TENTIAL as an action to resolve sleep-related issues that we have heard from many people.
Through this demonstration experiment, we obtained very good results as a result of measurements by our employees, although these are only reference values.
*Comment from Kenta Funayama, Executive Officer CRO (R&D), TENTIAL Co., Ltd.* We have entered an era in which companies are responsible for and support the wellness of their employees.
“Sleep” is necessary for all people without exception, and as reported in various research results, it is a very important element in supporting health. At TENTIAL, we want to create a positive society for health by accessing health issues from the familiar “sleep”. This verification showed that wearing clothing made with SELFLAME(R), a special functional fiber that promotes blood circulation, improves the sleep of CyberAgent employees. We hope that by continuing to deliver essential products that support health to our customers, we will gain the peace of mind and trust of even more people, and that our products will support their bodies in their daily challenges.
