Today I will be discussing sleep from a holistic point of view.  We all know that sleep is so important for our, mental and physical health as well as how we perform. Did you know it also plays a big part in our immune system, longevity, and even our skin?

Sleep

If you see someone sitting alone in a restaurant, you might assume they're waiting for someone, or perhaps they're grabbing a quick lunch on their break.

But more and more people around the world are purposely dining alone.

Japan has a special word for this: ohitorisama, which refers to people confidently doing things alone without worrying about what others think.

A recent survey found that 23% of Japanese people eat out alone, up from 18% in 2018. And in the US, solo dining reservations have risen 29% over the last two years, according to restaurant reservation site OpenTable.

OpenTable CEO Debby Soo thinks remote work is one reason for the increase, with people looking for a break from their home offices.

The increasing popularity in solo dining comes as more people are living alone. In 2019, the Pew Research Center found that 38% of US adults ages 25 to 54 were living without a partner, up from 29% in 1990. In Japan, single households now make up one-third of the total; that’s expected to increase to 40% by 2040, according to government data.

Growing interest in solo travel — particularly among travelers ages 55 and over — is also leading to more meals alone.

But Soo thinks there could be more to it than that.

"I think there's a broader movement of self-love and self-care and really … enjoying your own company," Soo said.

As a result, many restaurants are redoing their seating, changing their menus and adding other special touches to appeal to solo diners.

But some aren't always happy to seat one diner. A Michelin-starred London restaurant caused a stir last year when it started charging solo diners the same price as two customers. The restaurant, which has 34 seats, offers an eight-course menu costing about $280 per person.

Other restaurants say it's worth seating one person because solo diners will often come back and eat there again.

前回、日本の動物園のゾウが減っている話をしました。　日本にはいろんな動物園があります。ネットで検索したところ、人気ベスト３にあがっていたのは、北海道の旭山動物園、東京の上野動物園、和歌山のアドベンチャーワールドでした。　それぞれの動物園の見どころですが、人気ナンバーワンの旭山動物園では、冬期限定でペンギンの散歩を見ることができます。これは毎年のようにニュースで報道されていて、ペンギンがよちよち歩く姿がかわいくて、とても人気があります。　人気ナンバー2の上野動物園は1882年に開園した歴史ある動物園です。2021年には赤ちゃんパンダ、シャオシャオとレイレイが生まれて、人気者になっています。動物園の公式サイトでは、赤ちゃんパンダの成長記録を見ることができます。とてもかわいいです。
そして、ナンバー3のアドベンチャーワールドにはサファリパークがあり、専用のカートに乗って、檻の中ではない、より自然な状態の動物を見ることができるそうです。ここの動物園はパンダの飼育数が日本で一番多く、パンダにおやつをあげたり記念撮影を撮ることができる「パンダラブツアー」があるそうです。　私はまだ行ったことがありませんが、一度は行ってパンダに好物の笹をあげたいです。
それから、全国的にはあまり有名ではないかもしれませんが、私が子どものころによく行った動物園は、神戸市立王子動物園です。　ここは、正面の門から園内に入ると、一番に私たちを出迎えてくれるのがゾウです。それから、パンダのエリアがあります。ふれあい広場もあって、ウサギやヒツジ、モルモットなどの小さな動物たちに　餌を上げたり触ったりできます。ほかにも約130種類の動物たちが大切に飼育されています。
春には、園内の桜が咲きます。　桜が満開になるのに合わせて、夜桜をライトアップするイベントが行われます。そのときは、無料で園内の桜を見ることが出来ます。今年は、4月の2日から4日の3日間行われます。　何とか時間を作って、見に行きたいものです。　今回は日本の動物園を紹介しました。
