Research And Design Of Sleep-Related Products For College Students Based On User Experience

College students are prone to sleep problems due to the characteristics of inconsistent time,dormitory group living environment and multiple psychological pressures during their college days.However,the sleep solutions for college dormitory scenarios are relatively simple.This paper designs sleep-related products based on the sleep mental model of college students’ dormitories,and researches sleep product solutions that meet the needs and behavioral habits of college students’ sleep experience in the dormitory group.,safe,high-quality and orderly sleep,and improve the happiness of campus life.This paper firstly analyzes the sleep characteristics of college students,and determines that the target population of the study is college students living in dormitory environments,focusing on sleep problems caused by insufficient environment and cognition.In line with the design concept centered on user experience,questionnaires,interviews,and observation methods are used to collect the mental information of target users sleeping in the dormitory,and build a dormitory sleep behavior mental space including 54 tasks and 13 task towers.The problem analysis obtained three sleep pain points and 10 main demand points of roommate interference,sleep space discomfort,and poor personal sleep management,and determined that typical users are passive sleepers who are easily affected by the environment and high-quality sleep pursuers who pay attention to sleep health.,through the analysis of users’ cognitive,behavioral and emotional needs,to build a mental model of sleep in university student dormitories.Based on the mental model and the analysis of competing products,a design strategy for improving the sleeping space system is proposed,the sleeping cabin is selected as the product carrier,the dormitory constructed by the sleeping cabin is provided for the target users,and functional solutions are provided from the three aspects of environment,bed space and sleep health monitoring.Taking the dormitory 903 of the fourth student residence in Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications as an example,the design practice of the dormitory space,sleeping cabin and app was completed under the guidance of the mental model,and the feasibility of the scheme was verified through corresponding design evaluation and usability testing.Guided by the theory of mental model,this paper conducts an in-depth study on the sleep experience of college students living in a dormitory environment.Based on the user demand-oriented product definition,this paper proposes a product scheme to improve the sleep experience of the dormitory by using the sleeping cabin system.It is of great significance.The obtained mental model of sleep in student dormitories in colleges and universities provides a reference design principle for the subsequent design of sleep products for college students.Provide method reference.If time permits,the sleep product plan can be optimized on the basis of this research in the future.
