眠活
의미: Sleep optimization activity — the deliberate practice of improving sleep quality through environment, habits, and products.
眠活 is the newest addition to Japan's ○○活 wellness trends, reflecting growing awareness that sleep is fundamental to health. Japan is notorious for being one of the most sleep-deprived nations — average sleep time is among the lowest in OECD countries. 眠活 practices include optimizing bedroom environment (lighting, temperature, bedding), establishing pre-sleep routines (reducing screen time, using aromatherapy), and using sleep-tracking apps and devices. Premium mattress brands, sleep-focused supplements, and 'sleep coaching' services have all emerged.

✗ 잘못된 표현
- 「たくさん寝ればいい」は眠活の本質ではない — 量より質が大事 (Simply sleeping more is not what 眠活 is about — quality matters more than quantity)「多睡一会儿就行了」并不是睡眠管理的本质——质量比数量更重要Simplemente dormir más no es la esencia de la 眠活: la calidad importa más que la cantidad.'그냥 많이 자면 되지'는 민카쓰의 본질이 아니야 — 양보다 질이 중요하다
흔한 실수
- Thinking 眠活 is just about sleeping longer — it focuses on improving sleep quality through environment, habits, and routines, not just increasing hours
