Abstract

We used standardized questionnaire on sleep-health and lifestyle, and conducted a research on sleep of the elderly of Ogimi Village in Okinawa, the Prefecture of Longevity.\nWe evaluated the total score of five sleep factors, or "sleep-health risk index," to ascertain general sleep-health. According to the sleep-health index, we ranked elderly Ogimi villagers who were subject to the research, and grouped them into a "good sleep-health group" and a "poor sleep-health group." Compared to the poor sleep-health group, Morale Score of the good sleep-health group were significantly higher, showing their higher level of emotional adaptability. Results of our research indicates that their sleep-health greatly affects their Morale, that is, the sleep-health affects the mental health.
