Hello I'm Neesham 👋🏼
I am an A-level student passionate about creating engaging and accessible experiences.
The Problem
People do not get enough high quality sleep
The solution
An app that provides relaxation for users
Breathing Control:
-
Manipulating breathing patterns can have a calming effect.
Exercise/ Yoga:
-
When you exercise, your body releases chemicals called endorphins that help reduce negative feelings.
-
increases core body temperature, which helps you fall asleep
Immersive Library:
-
These immersive sounds help reduce distractions and anxiety.
Research
According to the NHS the way to fall asleep faster and sleep better is...
1. Have a good sleep routine (Sleep Hygiene)
2. Relax, unwind and try sleep meditation
3. Improve sleep through exercise
Major Insights
Theme 1: Regularity
Users are most likely to get high quality sleep when they are reminded of what time to start sleeping.
Theme 2: Comfort
Users achieve more and higher quality of sleep when they are able to put their mind at ease.
Theme 3: Improved Lifestyle
Users achieve more and higher quality of sleep when they live a better lifestyle.
Insights
From my and other users experience they are sleep deprived due to their mind being in a state of unease. By focusing on comfort I'm able to bring other features to my solutions e.g. An attribute that will improve users lifestyle
How Might We...

Initial Ideas + Improvements
Initially I wanted my colour scheme to be a light pink and yellow- as you will see below. However, after experimenting and research violet or something with a blue undertone would have a more calming effect.

Challenges
-
As it was my first Ux Design project it was very difficult .e.g. How I should structure the UI . However, it was very fun and I was very driven due to my initial passion for Art and Design.
-
This was during my school holidays so I had to organise so I would finish this project before school started
What I learnt
-
I learnt how to use tools
-
Simplicity and understanding the user is essential
-
When research is done well, you generate better ideas + solutions
