Welcome to my thesis journey!

Hi there!

My name’s Amber and I will be taking a deep dive into the world of insomnia. Trying to uncover the reasons of why we sleep and methods to improve our sleeping habits using digital means. The first action that was taken, was to uncover what it means to have a form of sleep loss “insomnia” and what effects that it could have to the human body.

• In this investigation of insomnia, I learned that there are two main forms of insomnia.

  • 1st : Comorbid, sleep loss caused by pre-existing illnesses. These illnesses can be caused by mental and physical illnesses. As example patients diagnosed with anxiety or depression.

  • 2nd : Primary, sleep loss without any pre-existing illness.
