Introduction
A large number of people suffer from insomnia, according to some studies over 10% of the adult population in the Netherlands. Relaxation and breathing exercises are some of the main treatment methods sleep therapists employ to treat insomniacs. I designed Slumber around these principles and it provides guided breathing exercises through light. The breathing exercises physically calm users while the lights provide something for them to focus on, getting them outĀ of the negative thought spirals often associated with insomnia.
