Sleep disorders are recurrent problems in society and have gained attention in recent years, especially when considering the changes imposed by Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) because they allow the development of solutions aimed at the evaluation of sleep. These disorders are usually associated with some clinical condition and usually the diagnosis is obtained through laboratory polysomnography, however, this is an expensive technique and may be inconvenient to patients. Therefore, it is worth emphasizing the importance of the sleep environment in the context of the diagnosis, since the variables associated to it play an important role in sleep quality. In this sense, the article presents the development of a non-invasive and low-cost device for monitoring the sleep environment, designed under the Design Science Research Methodology, to aid in the treatment of sleep disorders.

Os distúrbios no sono são problemas que afetam uma parcela sig- nificativa da sociedade e seu diagnóstico normalmente está condicionado a utilização do método de polissonografia laboratorial. No entanto, essa é uma técnica dispendiosa, inconveniente e incômoda ao paciente durante o processo de triagem. Nesse sentido, o presente artigo apresenta um dispositivo em desen- volvimento de baixo custo, para monitoramento do sono in loco e não invasivo, concebido sob o Design Science Research, que coleta as variáveis do ambiente de descanso, já que essas têm influência crucial sobre a qualidade do sono.
