Discussing Women's Health with Sleep Experts

On September 3rd, dubbed Sleep Day, Mainichi Shimbun is organizing a special online event focused on health for working women. The event will feature prominent guest speakers, including fitness instructor Marina Takewaki and sleep expert Mariko Kobayashi. Together, they will explore how to maintain health through proper sleep, addressing various factors such as work, household duties, and hormonal balance that hinder restful sleep.

The average sleep duration of Japanese women is notably short in a global context. The upcoming online event aims to empower women by providing vital information about sleep's fundamental role in health. Topics will range from sleep essentials to the effects of exercise and diet, along with practical self-care tips that can be easily integrated into daily life.

One highlight of the event will be live demonstrations by Marina Takewaki, where she will guide attendees through “sleep stretches.” Participants will have the chance to actively engage, learning techniques that can enhance sleep quality even amidst busy schedules. Packed with actionable insights, this event welcomes all, encouraging a healthier lifestyle adapted to everyday life.

In addition to the online event, a special interview with Marina Takewaki is available on Mainichi Shimbun’s lifestyle page, Hanasone. In this article, Marina shares her personal experiences, including home workouts, postpartum diet regimens, and overcoming breastfeeding troubles and sleep deprivation. Her message, “Caring for your own body is a way to care for your family,” resonates with many working women, aligning beautifully with the event's theme. We encourage readers to check out the interview and participate in the online event as well.
