# Moving Sleep Photos Claire Sloan's Sleep For Days Project is of a 6 Hour Exposure of Bed Activity By Bianca | Published 2009-08-13 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/claire-sloans-sleep-for-days-project References: [notcot.org](http://www.notcot.org/post/24067/) & [clairesloanphotography](http://www.clairesloanphotography.com/) Do you toss and turn all night or lay peacefully, barely making a move? Sleep For Days, a photo series shot by Claire Sloan, examines the movements that occur in a person's sleep over the course of six hours through one single, super long exposure shot. I'm assuming these are self portraits, which means that Claire Sloan is one deep sleeper. She barely moves at all, it's hard to believe these were taken over the course of several hours. Claire Sloan's Sleep For Days project would be a neat assignment to do on a larger with scale, with more people - especially people who are known restless sleepers, or better yet, sleepwalkers! ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.3/10 - Popularity: 63% | Activity: 29% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Modern](https://www.trendhunter.com/modern) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Sleep Photography:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop advanced sleep tracking technologies that capture sleep movements through long exposure photography. - **Sleep Behavior Analysis:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Use sleep photography and data analysis to gain insights into sleep patterns and develop personalized sleep solutions. - **Sleep Research Collaboration:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Collaborate with researchers and artists to explore the significance of sleep movements and their impact on health and well-being. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Photography:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrate sleep photography techniques into mainstream photography services, offering unique and artistic sleep-related portraits. - **Healthcare:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Incorporate sleep photography in sleep disorder diagnosis and treatment to enhance accuracy and improve patient outcomes. - **Technology:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop consumer-friendly sleep tracking devices that incorporate sleep photography features for a holistic sleep monitoring experience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sleep-Focused Hotel Rooms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sleep-lab-rooms.md) - [Unfiltered Sleep Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ikea-sleep-talk.md) - [Sleep-Monitoring Pads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/isleepad.md) - [Smartphone-Sized Beds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/phone-sleep-collection.md) - [Sheep-Surrounded Sleep Domes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shleep-sanctuary.md) - [Sleep-Focused Music Events](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sleep-concert.md) - [Self-Powered Smart Pillows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/self-powered-smart-pillow.md) - [Sleep Poverty Awareness Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sleepless-lamp.md) - [Restorative Sleep Suites](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sleep-suites.md)
