Sleep Deprivation

Groups of people across all age ranges are suffering from a lack of sleep for a variety of reasons, including habitual usage of technology. Researchers have found that the human body should receive 7.5hours of sleep per day, yet many individuals are sleep deprived due to frequent usage of technological devices. As long as the brain is functioning at full capacity, there is no requirement for sleep. However, the brain needs to rest every now and then, and sleep is the mandatory biological reset.

Our Target Group: Business People

These days, most working people have electronic gadgets such as iPhones, iPads, Laptops, Blackberries, PCs, etc. nearly glued to their hands. Therefore, they are under huge pressure since most of their bosses and clients expect them to be available 24/7.

This leads to instances where people are constantly checking their devices, even at night and first thing in the morning. The effect of this does not only lead to sleep deprivation, but can also lead to burn-outs, pressure on their private and family life and the inability to be productive and efficient. Our team will tackle this dilemma!
