Insight
The consumer insight behind the Gamified Sleep trend
For many consumers in the modern era, sleep gets in the way of busy modern lives, so many treat it more as an unfortunate necessity than a daily self-care ritual. Some of these regard sleep as a chore, leading them to neglect sleep and adopt unhealthy, irregular sleeping habits. In attempting to regulate sleep, many consumers are drawn to medical assists, such as melatonin or other sleeping pills, though these are not always effective. Brands are addressing these consumers by offering services that encourage regularity, reward sleep, and make both sleeping and waking up something to look forward to.
