睡眠キャンセル界隈とは?Z世代の約6割が睡眠6時間以下、英語で言うと
Young People Who Cancel Sleep
1Nearly six in 10 young people in Japan sleep six hours or less a night. A new survey found this in October. The survey asked 203 people aged 15 to 29.
2Some young people in Japan use the phrase suimin cancel kaiwai. Suimin means sleep, and kaiwai means a group of people. The phrase describes people who cut their sleep to stay up late.
3About 31 percent of the people in the survey tend to put other things before sleep. When they stayed up at night, more than half watched videos. More than half also used social media, and about 38 percent played games.
4But many of them wanted more sleep. About 44 percent said they had no time to sleep more. Japan's health ministry suggests that junior high and high school students sleep about eight to 10 hours.

全文訳
1日本の若い人の10人に6人近くは、一晩の睡眠が6時間以下です。10月に出た新しい調査でわかりました。この調査は、15〜29歳の203人にたずねました。
2日本の若い人の中には、「睡眠キャンセル界隈」という言葉を使う人がいます。「睡眠」は眠ること、「界隈」は人の集まりという意味です。この言葉は、眠る時間を削って夜ふかしする人たちのことを表します。
3調査に答えた人の約31%は、眠ることよりほかのことを先にしがちでした。夜に起きているとき、半分以上の人が動画を見ていました。半分以上がSNSも使っていて、約38%はゲームをしていました。
4でも、その多くはもっと眠りたいと思っていました。約44%が、もっと眠りたいけれど時間がないと答えました。日本の厚生労働省は、中学生と高校生には8〜10時間くらいの睡眠をすすめています。
文法ポイント:want to + 動詞の原形(〜したい)
want to のあとに動詞の原形を置くと「〜したい」。本文の many of them did not want to stay up は「その多くは起きていたくなかった」。否定は do not / did not want to ~ で「〜したくない(なかった)」。
