^{Personal Project: Sleep Hygiene

Year: 2018 (an older project under construction)

Designer: Sophie Sargood}

‘Pear is a concept solution for young adults that are affected by poor sleep hygiene. Through investigating the sleeping/waking routines and habits of young adults between the ages of 18-25 a research paper highlighted the general unawareness of good sleep regime, exposing the bad habits individuals conform to and showcasing the general unawenress of sleep hygiene primarly. Analysis of both primary and secondary research led the project to understand there is a constant need to stay connected via smart phones and also to succeed, preventing healthy sleep in our society, especially amongst young individuals’.
