“…The above-described attempts to change users health behavior provide only anecdotal evidence of the use of persuasion profiles within HCI. There is a need to examine the use of persuasion profiles in other popular HCI problem domains such as the reduction of energy consumption (Bang et al, 2006), medication adherence (as suggested in Oinas-kukkonen and Harjumaa, 2009), and for the improvement of sleep quality (Scherini and Melo, 2010). In these fields our four design requirements are often less easily met as compared to online applications.…”

“…Also, a number of systems have been developed to support tangible communication with the partner, (e.g., Secret Touch in [34]). Other studies aimed at providing awareness of other's everyday activities, for example by linking physical objects (e.g., pillows in [28]). Similarly, technologies such as the Whereabouts Clock [7] increased the feelings of connectedness to other members of a family by providing coarse information about the other's location (e.g., also [10]).…”

Advances in biosensing make it possible to include heart rate monitoring in applications and several studies have suggested that heart rate communication has potential for improving social connectedness. However, it is not known how people understand heart rate feedback, or what issues need to be taken into account when designing technologies including heart rate feedback. To explore this, we created a heart rate communication probe that was used in two qualitative in-lab studies and a two-week field trial in participants' homes. Results show that heart rate feedback is a strong connectedness cue that affects the interaction in various ways, depending on a number of interrelated factors. In particular, we found two distinct categories of effects: heart rate as information and heart rate as connection. We propose two mechanisms that could explain these observations and draw out the implications they have for future use of heartbeat communication to support social connectedness or other aspects of social interaction. INTRODUCTIONSocial connectedness is one of the most important predictors of well-being [22,32], increasing happiness [3] and reducing the risk of depression [8]. Moreover, social connectedness also has strong effects on physical health, influencing, for instance, neuroendocrine and cardiovascular systems [29] and systolic blood pressure. This importance of social connectedness has sparked research on systems and technologies in HCI that can improve our sense of belonging and help reduce our feeling of loneliness, such as awareness systems for families and friends [7,10,24,31] and devices supporting social connectedness for remote couples [12,34].

“…Sleep therefore can become an important part of a co-presence system that contributes to achieving a higher level social connectedness. Other examples of systems that use the bed for connecting remote people to improve intimacy of couples sleeping in different locations are The Bed by Dodge [11], Telematic Dreaming by Sermon [50] and Somnia [47]. Each of these projects connects sleepers in two different locations through sensory immersions such as warming the pillow and transmitting audio and video.…”

This paper highlights opportunities and considerations when developing interaction techniques in the relatively unexplored area of sleep. We do this by first describing the sociological aspects of sleep such as the need for scheduling and coordinating sleep within a collective, followed by a description of the physiological aspects such as the circadian rhythm and sleep stages. We then examine how some external factors like the location of sleep and family settings can affect sleep to highlight potential design opportunities. We finish the paper by describing five distinct themes such as scheduling for a collective, supporting sleep transitions and feigning and inhibiting sleep around which design opportunities are explored. The main contribution of this paper is a discussion on the phenomenon of sleep and its position in the social life to provide a rich understanding of sleep and a set of opportunities for interaction design research around sleep.
