About the Survey

The DreamHarmony Sleep Survey has been conducted with the goal of delving into the various factors that influence sleep quality and patterns. Our aim is not only to understand these factors but also to discover insights that could lead to enhancing sleep quality, duration, and overall life satisfaction. The findings from this survey are expected to contribute significantly to our understanding of sleep and its impact on daily life.

Current Status

At present, our team has successfully completed the data collection phase. We are now in the process of meticulously processing the data. The next step involves a detailed analysis of the responses, which will commence shortly. The insights gained from this analysis will be instrumental in driving public health initiatives and recommendations for better sleep hygiene practices.
