“Introduction To Sleep Studies”
“Introduction To Sleep Studies” is a song by The Ohayogozaimas. It was released August 26, 2016 as the first single for their album No-Nonsense. The music video for the song was made by UNE.

Structure
The song is 4 minutes, 18 seconds long. It begins with an alarm clock sound effect as guitar feedback brings the song to a start. The song has a rising and descending motif to it. The main riff is played on bass guitar and accompanied by a scream by Saba. The main riff is repeated in a proper way, The second half of the verse has a call and response section with Saba and Nagi. The chorus of the song is also structured in a call and response sort of way, this time with Utsu-P and Saba. The second verse replaces the first section with a breakdown-esque section. After the second chorus, the pre-breakdown buildup starts, featuring Utsu-P doing some sort of strange harmonic sound with his bass guitar. The breakdown is based around a sustained dissonant chord. The breakdown feels like it destroys the song, so the post-breakdown section feels like it builds the song back together as the held chords are more melodic this time around. The chorus plays one more time, and the song ends with a loop of the main riff, it incorporates the breakdown's riff for the final notes.
Alternate versions
The album version from No-Nonsense is a different recording. It's a subtle difference, but the most obvious change is the re-recording of the “go to bed” line which starts the breakdown
An instrumental version was featured on Tokuten
The backing track used for live performances was featured on tokunivv

Lyrics
前時代を踏襲しただけの美徳
ビル街の陋習にただ疲弊して
赤提灯ぶら下がってブラックアウト
やってばっか
そんな寝相じゃ取れん疲労感
枕固め 真っ暗 豆電
安堵感ごと羽織って布団
ひねもす蓄積しては忘す鬱積
就寝で解消
グッドモーニングな合図で覚めたい
午前中にはスカッと
万物は寝る 万物は寝る 万物は寝る
万物は寝る 家で
絶え間が無くては生存不可能さ
就寝せよ
万物は寝る 万物は寝る 万物は寝る
万物は寝る 家で
憂しと見し世ぞ 寝れば解放さ
睡眠が足んない
入眠と同時に 「今日」が死す
弔う間もなく 明日へ
今日の罪 徳も積み
敢闘の残骸持ち越して
晴れない闇は 宵越しで晴らす
最小単位の輪廻転生だ
グッドモーニングな合図で覚めたい
午前中にはスカッと
万物は寝る 万物は寝る 万物は寝る
万物は寝る 家で
絶え間が無くては生存不可能さ
就寝せよ
万物は寝る 万物は寝る 万物は寝る
万物は寝る 家で
猪口才な拙論はいらん 寝よう
それが睡眠学概論
Go to bed
くだらない生涯の三割を占める夢
七割を闘う為に全身全霊で眠れ
眠れ
万物は寝る 万物は寝る 万物は寝る
万物は寝る 家で
絶え間が無くては生存不可能さ
就寝せよ
万物は寝る 万物は寝る 万物は寝る
万物は寝る 家で
憂しと見し世ぞ 寝れば解放さ
睡眠が肝要 今日もまた始まる
全ては布団から
