# Sleep-Inducing Vanity Sets Transformative Chronotype by Julie Yonehara Plays with Melatonin Levels By Meghan Young | Published 2012-10-11 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/transformative-chronotype References: [fastcodesign](http://www.fastcodesign.com/1670956/sleep-20-circadian-sleep-masks-make-any-time-bedtime) & [cargocollective](http://cargocollective.com/jyonehara/The-Transformative-Chronotype) Modern technology has allowed days to become nights and nights to become days, messing with the body's natural rhythm when it comes to wakefulness and sleepiness; the Transformative Chronotype collection helps to mitigate manmade disruptions through a series of “circadian” sleep masks and a “chronos” compact. The sleep masks filter out blue spectrum colors to promote melatonin production to make you sleepy. On the other hand, the compact shines a bright blue light for the opposite effect. Created by designer Julie Yonehara, the Transformative Chronotype collection may do the job in tricking the body into going to sleep or staying away, but the design of each product is more impressive. Transformative Chronotype has a posh-futuristic feel that makes it appear more like wearable accessories. Yonehara reveals, "The concept behind the mask construction came from an earlier project in which I was experimenting with laser cutting on silk." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.5/10 - Popularity: 69% | Activity: 58% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Sleep-tech Wearables:** The Transformative Chronotype collection introduces innovative sleep masks and a chronos compact that filter out blue spectrum colors to promote melatonin production or shine a bright blue light for opposite effect. - **Circadian Health Accessories:** The posh-futuristic feel of the Transformative Chronotype collection makes it more appealing as wearable accessories that help in tricking the body into regular sleep or staying awake by mimicking the body's natural rhythm. - **Personalized Chronotherapy Solutions:** The Transformative Chronotype collection helps in mitigating manmade disruptions in an individual's sleep patterns by offering a personalized approach to chronotherapy through circadian sleep masks and a chronos compact. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Healthcare:** The healthcare sector can leverage the Transformative Chronotype collection in developing personalized chronotherapy solutions that promote better sleep patterns without the use of medication. - **Fashion and Accessories:** The fashion industry can collaborate with sleep-tech companies to create posh-futuristic sleepwear and wearable accessories like the Transformative Chronotype collection. - **Wellness and Lifestyle:** The wellness and lifestyle industry can explore innovative approaches like circadian health accessories to enable customers to achieve a balanced life and healthy sleep habits. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Nap-Inducing Lulling Robes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zzzn-sleep-apparel-system.md) - [Soothing Smart Sleeping Masks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aura-smart-sleep-mask.md) - [Recalibrating Sleep Wearables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/retimer-3.md) - [Bedside Sleep Aid Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lunora.md) - [Sleep-Aiding Lava Lamp Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/epy.md) - [Chic Circadian Rhythm Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hatch-restore-2.md) - [Sleep-Inspiring Infrared Helmets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sleepya.md) - [Circadian Bedside Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wake-lamp.md) - [Minimal Wake-Aware Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wake-sleep-light.md)
