Project Overview
We designed and developed Sleep Cloud9, a harmonious integration of a cutting-edge app and an ergonomic cloud-shaped pillow using the habit forming strategy of the Hook Model introduced by Nir Eyal. These complementary products are tailored for students through the Thomas Jefferson University’s User Experience and Interaction Design Master’s Program to foster better sleep habits and enhance overall productivity. We aim to ensure students achieve the recommended 8 hours of sleep daily, positively impacting their academic performance, social interactions, and self-care routines.
