Abstract

 We investigated the influence which the existence of an enclosure at the time of sitting on a chair and relaxing after work has on recovery from fatigue by work. Before and after performing rest with the chair which covered the surroundings with cloth, and the chair not covered, impression evaluation of feeling and space were compared. When the subjects rested on the enclosed chair, evaluation of mind ease improved. The subjects felt that sleepiness increased more notably, when they rested on the enclosed dark chair rather than resting on the chair which is not enclosed. According to the result of room assessment, although the enclosed space was darkly exclusive, it formed the private space and the subjects evaluated it as the pleasant space which can be relaxed. These results suggest that rest in a private space may promote relaxation, and contributes to mitigation of mental load.
