Overview.

This project was a visual info. read design, combining research and UX thinking, to produce a visually coherent and useful read for people. Sleep problems affect around #% of people (Link), and sleep works with other systems of the body to influence people’s well-being, so it seemed constructive to share this information in a paired down but potent read via email.

What guided the info. read’s message?

 

Sleep.

Sleep affects everyone and is for the 66 percent of the time most of us are awake each day, 33% of the time of our body is resting in sleep or daydreams.

 

Additionally, sleep is a mechanism that has a lot going on. It influences and beats in tandem with the many other systems of the body {10/12 including cardiovascular, circulatory, and muscular}.

 

Sleep is something relevant to everyone and with the understanding of science and research and info. people have a 25% tendency to be aware or make choices based on that newly digested information.

 

Stress.

Stress affects 100% of humanity, and 89% of it had been noted to be related to sleep disturbances, adverse effects, and obstructions.

 

Stress can also be related to diet, xyz, and pyx which also influences a person’s sleep patterns.

 

One of the most impactful ways that a person can help their stress levels to subside or maintain a better wave length is to sleep well, eat, well, breathe well, exercise well, and socialize well.

 

With Sleep + Stress being something to work on together or that influences each other, it was a topic that was far reaching in terms of people’s relationship to the material and to how they may perceive sleep and to how they may choose to influence sleep. Their own sleep patterns, and the sleep patterns of those around them. On a personal note, I think it is fun to learn about the why behind things.

Sleep is constantly happening to us, the lull of dreams and a slumbering body, but I don’t always understand the mechanism behind this daily occurrence. Why not learn something and piece together it’s inner & outer workings. :)

Project: Sleep Science Made Simple Via a Newsletter {Info Read - Newsletter seems dry}

People more strongly remember content when images combine and support the text. (Find Link!)

5 Themes.

Data on the project pre - full out research, design, review, and send.

Goal = A to the point read w/ relevant and visually appealing infographics to support sleep learns.

Design: I figured a design with images would make sciencey info, which can be dry and take quite a bit of time to parse through, more transmissible and perhaps even fun to read, and with that an ability to be recalled, utilized, and acted upon later.

It seemed like a pretty relatable and relevant content/theme especially, with around 1/3 of life in sleep.

d sleep works with other systems of the body to influence people’s well-being, function, and directives, productive and beneficial

Additionally, Sleep is a mechanism that has a lot going

on. It influences and beats in tandem with the many

other systems

One of the most impactful ways that a person can help their stress levels to subside or maintain a better wave length is to sleep well, eat, well, breathe well, exercise well, and socialize well. Sleep being something we can choose to influence ourselves {for the most part sans schedules, unexpected happening, and late night snacks} this was a read that I wanted to explore through info. consolidation and revenant sharing. * * *

Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.

Be clear, be confident and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself. It always does.
