WAKEFULNESS
Hästens

Did you know the quality of your sleep is highly influenced by what you do during the day? Bed company Hästens asked us how you can improve ‘sleeping’ without changing the bed. We focussed on the enrichment element ‘Circadian rhythms’ to understand how the activities during the day can prepare yourself for a good night of rest. 

12 concepts were proposed to Hästens for facilitating the lifestyle ‘Wakefulness’ based on state-of-the-art insights from University of Cambridge.
