Learn Japanese While You Sleep Slow Japanese podcast

Hello everyone, I'm Ren. Hello everyone, how are you? Today's video theme is Japanese to listen to before bed. Before sleeping. Before sleeping. What's this? Japanese to listen to before sleeping. Do you understand? Yes, it's Japanese you hear before going to sleep. Occasionally, in the YouTube comments, I come across quite a few people saying my voice is really relaxing. I often listen to Spanish or English podcasts before sleeping myself, so Today, I'd like to create a Japanese video that you can listen to before going to sleep. Yes, since it's Japanese that I listen to before sleeping today, I'll speak more quietly and slowly than usual in this video. This time, I'll record the screen and upload it to YouTube, but Well, if you're watching this video right before sleeping, you don't even need to look at the screen. Yes, I think it would be great if you could listen to it as a podcast. At what time do you watch this video? It is 9:06 now. 9 o'clock, it's 9 p.m., isn't it? I'm filming this video at 9 p.m. I go to bed at 10 every day, so It's about time to go to bed, 9 o'clock. I'm really sleepy, honestly. I sometimes go to bed at 9 o'clock. I go to sleep at an incredibly early hour, though, Around 9 o'clock or 10 o'clock, you know. But it's not that I wake up early. I also tend to wake up quite late. So, go to bed early and wake up late. Go to bed at around 9 o'clock or 10 o'clock, I sometimes wake up around 8 a.m. They really sleep for an incredible amount of time. That's what they call a long sleeper, isn't it? I sleep really, really hard. I'm extremely sleepy, I always think I'd like to sleep for about ten hours. How many hours do you sleep each day? At what time do you go to bed and at what time do you wake up? Yeah, it's intriguing, isn't it? Sometimes, people mention short sleepers occasionally, There are people who have an extremely short sleep duration, aren't there? Tall, short, short person. I think there are occasional ones like that. That's really impressive, isn't it? It's cheating, isn't it, something like that. Because if sleeping time is short, It's not that you'll necessarily have more free time, is it? If I were a short sleeper, I can watch anime until nightfall, and You're right, I feel like being lazy and relaxed, but... I need to get a lot of sleep, so I feel like I'm wasting a huge amount of time. Short sleepers are envy-inducing, aren't they? As a historical figure, Something like Napoleon being a short sleeper, I have heard about it. Do you understand Napoleon? About what year in France? Around 1600? I don't understand it at all, though. He's an amazing person from France. The famous person from France, Napoleon, yes. Napoleon was indeed a remarkable short sleeper, My sleep time was extremely short. I've heard something like it took about three hours. Are there any other historically known short sleepers besides him? I'm really curious. Oh, I'm jealous of short sleepers. you won't become a short sleeper just by complaining about it, so Let's quietly sleep a lot. You're right, there's nothing we can do about it, is there? Since my body constitution requires a lot of sleep, I suppose there's nothing to be done about it. Are you someone who sleeps for a long time, or do you sleep for a short time? Short sleeper? Yes, speaking of which, it has changed, but... Do you guys listen to something when you go to sleep? Do you listen to music, podcasts, or radio? I'm not sure, but I think many people today fall asleep while listening to something. I'm also one of those people who listen to YouTube audio before sleeping, or I listen to podcasts and such. What do you listen to while falling asleep? I already said a moment ago, but I was listening to a podcast, an English-language podcast, you know. Especially Luke's English Podcast—it's my favorite podcast, you know. I fall asleep every day while listening to that podcast. This might just be my own perception, but Isn't it an amazing feeling to fall asleep while listening to a foreign language? I think it'll make you feel really great. Listening to my favorite podcasts is incredibly relaxing. I think it's a double benefit since it also helps with studying English. By the way, everyone, do you know the expression "one stone, two birds"? Since it's a very commonly used word, Well, if it's convenient, please remember this for today. When breaking down the phrase "one stone, two birds," First, "one stone" means one stone. And "ni-tori" means two birds, two feathered creatures. We call two birds "ni-chō." Kill two birds with one stone. That's what "killing two birds with one stone" means. The meaning of "one stone, two birds" is, Achieving two or more results from a single action. That's difficult, isn't it? Achieving two benefits from doing one thing. This is a win-win situation. Well, it's literally what it says, isn't it? I think there's also a phrase like "kill two birds with one stone" in English, isn't there? Kill two birds with one stone. A bird with two stones. There are similar expressions in English too, aren't there? Also, probably, there's the same expression in Spanish, right? Maybe I don't quite understand, but... Probably, the same "killing two birds with one stone" expression is being used. I wonder if it's used all over the world. What about other languages? Chinese, German, and so on. If there is a similar expression in other languages that means "kill two birds with one stone," It's amazing and so interesting, isn't it? I wonder why that expression came to be used. It's a bit intriguing, isn't it? Next, I would like to talk about Night Routine. Night routine. It's the same as in English. Night routine. Night means night, doesn't it? The routine is, What do you call "routine" in Japanese? Since the term "structured routine" itself is being used, Routine. Fixed routines and habits, you know. It's a habit. What to do at night. A habit I often do at night. That is the night routine. Do you have a nighttime routine? I don't have that much, actually. You're right. I don't think there are that many. Well, probably the same as everyone else. Eat dinner before going to bed, So, Taking a bath, it's a bathtub. Taking a bath, Brush your teeth, To sleep. After having dinner, Take a bath, Brush your teeth before going to bed. This is my night routine. Is this called a night routine, I wonder? So obvious it's ridiculous, Something like that I think it might be wrong. But there was a night routine. I do stretching before I go to bed. Stretching. That's how you stretch your body. Stretching the body. This is stretching. It's stretching, isn't it? Like this, before sleeping, After loosening your body, I sleep. Stretching at night, it's like I think it's pretty good. My sleep quality should improve, I think. Probably. I think it will probably go up. I have a feeling like that. Therefore, please do so without fail. After evening stretching, Please try to go to sleep. What is your nightly routine? Please let me know in the comment section. I wonder if anyone's still listening to this video? I wonder if they've already gone to sleep? Are you still awake, everyone? You can sleep if you want. Really. Sleep well. You must be tired, huh. If you've made it this far, Are you watching? Are you watching? Are you looking? Thank you. You're still watching, I see. Aren't you getting sleepy by now? Yes. I'd like to talk just a little more and then finish. Finally, then, habits for improving sleep quality I would like to talk. The quality of sleep, you know, "Quality" means "quality" (or "quility"). Quality, quality. Let's talk about habits that improve sleep quality. There are three in total. The first one is, Lowering the room temperature. Temperature is... What do you call it? Hot or cold, stuff like that, That's the temperature. It seems that a slightly cool temperature is best when sleeping. Coolness means, Neither hot nor cold, yet... Quite cold, almost chilly, They say it's cool, but... Slightly cold, Apparently, it's best when it's just a bit cool. To sleep. Therefore, when going to sleep, slightly lower the room temperature. Let's sleep in a slightly cool room. This is the first habit. The second one is, Avoid using your smartphone for one hour before going to sleep. Smartphone, or rather, It's blue light, isn't it. Looking at the screen, viewing the display, It's not very good, so when sleeping, smartphones, or Let's stop touching computers and such. But this is quite difficult, isn't it? I just can't help but keep looking at my smartphone until right before bed, It ends up becoming like that. I think that's exactly when we're most likely to end up glancing at our smartphones right before bed. This is difficult, but It's okay if you can't do it. That would be amazing if possible. It's completely fine if you can't do it. I can't do it either, you know. Before sleeping, Let's try to avoid blue light. Do not look at the screen. Let's pretend we don't see it. Yes, this is the second habit for improving sleep quality. And the third and final habit is, When I woke up in the morning, It's to go outside immediately and soak up the sunlight. Yes, This is a habit I have in the morning, but At night, the quality of sleep improves. When I woke up in the morning, Well, within 30 minutes. Get outside within 30 minutes, Let's bask in the sunlight, in the light of the sun. Then, for some reason, You seem to be able to sleep a lot at night. I completely don't get it, somehow, I just can't make sense of the logic. How do you... I have absolutely no idea why that is, though. Sorry. Completely, that, Well, Isn't there something like that, you know? Probably, that kind of thing, Hormones, for example, or Chemicals and such, Serotonin, and so on, Probably, that kind of thing, It's been a bit complicated, Well, I think I'll be able to sleep a lot at night. Wait a minute, not at all, Um, I don't know the detailed reasons, so Well, if you're curious, Everyone, please take a look it up yourself. But the idea that it's good to get sunlight... I'm telling the truth. Therefore, Well, when I woke up in the morning, Go outside, Let us bask in the sunlight. Not at all, even if the sunlight isn't shining out, It's extremely important to go outside and soak up sunlight, so It's not necessary to do it on a sunny day. Even if it's cloudy, It seems going outside is important. So yes, When I wake up tomorrow morning, Definitely go outside, Please bask in the sunlight. Yes, The above is for improving the quality of sleep, Three habits. Is there anyone who's watched this far into the video? Something's off with everyone, I wonder if I fell asleep?
