“It Only Tells Me How I Slept, Not How to Fix It”: Exploring Sleep Behaviors and Opportunities for Sleep Technology

Abstract

We present an online survey study examining people’s sleep behaviors as well as their strategies and tools to improve sleep health. Findings show that certain demographic features and sleep behaviors may impact sleep quality, and that current sleep technology is not as effective in promoting sleep health as expected. We discuss the importance of understanding sleep behaviors, design insights for future sleep technology, and the value of a holistic approach to sleep technology design.
