Problem Statement  

“How do we make people, who deal with stress and other factors, sleep in a healthier and better way?”

Problem Background  

“In today's fast-paced world, an increasing number of individuals are grappling with sleep-related issues that can have a profound impact on their physical health, mental well-being, and overall quality of life. Modern lifestyles, demanding schedules, and the prevalence of digital devices have contributed to disrupted sleep patterns and poor sleep quality for many. Insufficient sleep and irregular sleep schedules have been linked to a range of health concerns, including fatigue, decreased cognitive performance, mood disturbances, and even chronic conditions like obesity and cardiovascular diseases.

In terms of factors that affect sleep, from my own research, 71.4% of a group of 7 people said that stress was a factor that affected their sleep greatly. In a recent article, it is stated that stress is one of the main factors of sleep deprivation due to it stopping the mind and body from relaxing. The stress could come from work, school, relationships, and so on and so forth.

From my own research, it also showed that 71.4% of the group said temperature was another factor, 28.6% said it was technology usage, and 57.1% said it was light. From the research, the people were fighting a factor that determined the quality of sleep and this application will be used by anyone who wants to improve their sleep.”
