'Who do you sleep with?' Questionairre
We distributed a comprehensive co-sleeping questionnaire to a diverse group of over 200 participants. Our goal was to gather a wide range of perspectives on co-sleeping, examining practices, habits, and common frustrations, among other aspects. This wealth of firsthand insights is instrumental in our effort to understand and improve the co-sleeping experience.

We explored the emotional core of co-sleeping by asking participants to describe their experience in a single word. These responses revealed powerful patterns in how people felt about sharing sleep spaces. The resulting sentiment map didn't just tell us what people liked about co-sleeping - it helped shape how we designed our platform to enhance these valued moments of connection.
To gain a deeper understanding of co-sleeping priorities, we engaged users in a card sorting exercise. Participants were asked to arrange various aspects of co-sleeping in order of importance to them. The data collected from this exercise was then utilized to create an affinity map, providing a visual representation of shared and individual priorities. This methodology helped us uncover the values and needs that lie at the heart of the co-sleeping experience, informing the design of our platform to better align with users' priorities.
Data Visualization
How might we communicate co-sleeping data?
Against a dark canvas, pink and blue particle clouds dance to the rhythm of brain activity. These flowing particles map each sleeper's journey through the night, their intensity and movement creating a real-time visual story of shared sleep patterns. Like a living constellation, this dynamic display reveals the subtle harmony between two minds at rest.

Sleep Reports
Each morning, our platform delivers a dual sleep analysis that maps both partners' journeys through the night. The report visualizes shared sleep stages, duration, and wake periods, revealing moments of sleep synchronization. By understanding how partners influence each other's rest, we provide targeted recommendations that balance individual sleep health with the shared experience.
Co-sleep live dashboard
The Live Dashboard displays our particle-based sleep visualization while respecting individual boundaries. Users control which metrics they share with their partner - from sleep cycles to snoring patterns. This balance of transparency and privacy lets couples stay connected while maintaining personal comfort, helping both partners optimize their shared sleep experience.
