Designing for A Good Night’s Sleep
Sleep is a unique mental state and designing things to “get a good night’s sleep” is definitely within the scope of cognitive design. So I am always on the look-out for devices, scientific studies and techniques that relate to sleep.
Check out the Zeo personal sleep coach. It is a home sleep monitoring device including headband that captures the electrical activity associated with your sleeping patterns.
The product comes with web-based journaling software to help you gain insights into the causes and effects of a good night sleep.
Finally, you are encouraged to develop a 7-step sleep fitness program to optimize the quality of your sleep.
