To provide a slow wave activity promoter capable of promoting a slow wave activity and providing deep and good quality sleep.SOLUTION: There is provided a slow wave activity promoter including as an active ingredient, alkylresorcinol expressed by a following formula (I). The slow wave activity promoter of the invention has a function for increasing a ratio of a delta wave with respect to a theta wave in a brain wave, for promoting a slow wave activity in sleep. As the alkylresorcinol, it is preferable that an extract containing alkylresorcinol derived from a gramineous plant or an Anacardiaceae plant is included.SELECTED DRAWING: None 【課題】徐波活動を促進させ、深く良質な睡眠を提供し得る、徐波活動促進剤を提供すること。【解決手段】本発明の徐波活動促進剤は、下記一般式（Ｉ）で表されるアルキルレゾルシノールを有効成分として含有する。本発明の徐波活動促進剤は、脳波におけるシータ波に対するデルタ波の比率を高める機能を有し、睡眠中の徐波活動を促進させる。前記アルキルレゾルシノールとして、イネ科植物又はウルシ科植物由来のアルキルレゾルシノール含有抽出物を含有することが好ましい。【化１】【選択図】なし
