As many as 20-40% of adult workers in Japan have low-quality sleep and insomnia. Therefore, analyze relationship between health sleep and dietary habits and Health-related quality of life (SF-8TM) of adult workers in Japan who have sleeping problems.

The ESS value indicates an average of 9.9 ± -4.37, which was higher than the average.
