I’ve been very fortunate that I’ve never had any serious problems sleeping. Even on nights where I can’t get to sleep right away, once I do I stay asleep till morning (and beyond). Lots of people are not so lucky and the impact on their lives can be devastating.

This year, the Mental Health Foundation are focussing their efforts on sleep health and are kicking off with a simple website, built in collaboration with Sleepio asking people how they slept and giving some information about insomnia and sleep health in general.

Sleepio is a startup aiming to help people suffering with chronic sleep problems to take control of the problem themselves and to overcome them without needing professional, medical help which can be difficult to access. You can take their sleep survey here.

I was asked to get involved to turn the idea into a functioning website that processed the responses and extracted some useful data and patterns out of them.

The website will be the landing site for the MHF’s sleep health marketing campaign so they hope to extract some interesting and useful information from it.
