Abstract: A sleepiness prediction system includes a lifelog obtainer, a route information obtainer, and a sleepiness predictor. The lifelog obtainer obtains a lifelog including at least a get-up time of an occupant of a vehicle and a boarding time at which the occupant boards the vehicle. The route information obtainer obtains route information regarding a route to a destination of the vehicle. The sleepiness predictor predicts a sleepiness level of the occupant while the occupant is in the vehicle, based on the lifelog and the route information.
