'The Nightclub' by IKEA champions sleep and recognizes that "the greatest nights are the ones spent in bed." Although nightlife and club scenes often encourage people to become deprived of sleep and distanced from their natural circadian rhythm, this ad from IKEA reframes sleep as the highlight of the night.
As part of a larger sleep-centered campaign, IKEA is sharing solutions for sleep and will be offering in-store activations and workshops that provide tailored advice for individuals.
