Description

"Insomnia was the problem of these little grown-up ones

But instead of finding a doctor, they would try their... smartphones?"

One of the biggest mistakes adults commit as they lay in bed is to reach for smartphones and check all their social media. Which is a really bad decision: the blue-light that comes from the screen reduces the sleep quality and confuses the biological clock.

"Oh... if they were kids, we would tuck 'em and tell a story

Wait a sec, we can do that! With the Sleep Time Stories!"

Sleep Time Stories are parodies of fairy tales to talk about insomnia in a way never dreamed before. Created to take adults to the dreamland, they appear late at night on Instagram to deliver not only entertainment, but also relevant content on how to have a better sleep routine, proper information about serious sleep disorders and how to treat them.

Execution

"For those struggling with love, Tinderella for the count

For those running low on money, Little Red Bank Account"

Each one of the Sleep Time Stories are based on a top problem adults worry about at bedtime.

"And it didn't stop there, 'cause there's still plenty to tell

With gifs, polls and hashtags, fairy tales never did so well"

Using Instagram native tools, we boosted interactivity and collected data. The leading topics are inputs for the next stories.

"Blue-light filters, binaural sounds and techniques of hypnosis

Our stories put them to sleep, and helped them find a diagnosis."

Smartphones do no good in bedtime. That's why we used some techniques to create the proper digital environment and reduce harmful effects on the insomniacs.

"So that's how we turned the 'enemy' into a way to help dreams go by

Our stories were seen by thousands, and we've made some healthier nights."

Outcome

"So that's how we turned the 'enemy' into a way to help dreams go by

Our stories were seen by thousands, and we've made some healthier nights."
