Relevance:
A product I found online while searching a similar toy for adults, but it was hard to find one. But I guess this one can also explain all the needs and features of a sleeping toy. This toy is designed to comfort kids away from the fear of darkness or sleeping alone by having soft lights on the stuffed toy. There are a lot of adults that I know in life who still sleep with lights on or have a lot of stuffed toys while sleeping. Adults are to be defined as independent automatically by this society and being forgotten they might also need this kind of care and comfort. Being an adult sometimes can face even more issues, not only the fear of darkness but also anxiety. Having a good sleep like a baby seems to be the hardest thing to accomplish. And having a bad sleep also affects how their performance of next day. So can we design something for adults that provides them discreet, comfortable, and able to control themselves?
