Mimosa

The rise of smart watches has proven that people love to understand their body data.

Many people choose to make their bedrooms a no phone zone, which is great; but it defeats the purpose of a sleep tracking app. Mimosa is a lo-tech paper tool that helps people to understand and analyse their sleeping habits. No app needed!

Reduced to a single interaction, Mimosa combines the ritual of data tracking with its simultaneous visualisation. This makes it a more mindful activity, so you automatically pay more attention to it. It’s simple: Through being displayed, the object’s ever changing ornamental state becomes part of the owners surroundings, while their circadian rhythm gently moves up their priority list.
