Today’s story きょうの あらすじ

Last night I told myself I would get plenty of sleep and went to bed a little earlier than usual, and woke up feeling clear. I track my sleep with an Apple Watch, so I went to check the night's score — only to find I had fallen asleep without putting the watch on. The score I had looked forward to is no data. Lately I am so absorbed in AI that I often stay up late, so from now on I want to keep going to bed early, score well, remember the watch, and get my body in order.
