SWEET DREAMS: A Personalized Sleep Solution for Insomnia SWEET DREAMS is a two-part service system designed for people struggling with insomnia, offering both a customizable and convenient solution. Users have the option to create their personalized sleep-enhancing drink using an innovative machine, paired with the original formula, allowing them to make their own sleep drink daily. For those who prefer a simpler approach, or don't have the machine, we’ve crafted edible drink capsules made from seaweed that encapsulate the formula in a water ball. Simply pop it into your mouth, and you’re good to go — a healthy, eco-friendly, and effortless way to improve your sleep. Did you sleep well last night? Want to sleep even better? Let SWEET DREAMS protect your gut and enhance your sleep! SWEET DREAMS is a revolutionary non-alcoholic drink developed to address insomnia by improving gut health. Harnessing the power of Lactobacillus plantarum(a beneficial bacterium) and Spirulina (a nutrient-rich micro-algae), the drink enhances intestinal health and balances brain chemistry through the brain-gut axis. This helps in boosting the production of serotonin and endorphins, known to elevate mood and promote relaxation. By incorporating tryptophan synthase(an enzyme facilitating the production of tryptophan), the formula naturally increases Melatonin and GABA levels in the brain, promoting calming effects and restful sleep. Beyond helping with sleep, this project is also about fostering an understanding of the non-human world. By highlighting the symbiotic relationship between humans and micro-organisms, it aims to promote a collective sense of responsibility toward sustainability. Each drink serves as a reminder of this connection, where the health of our gut and the natural world is intricately linked to our overall well-being. Better Gut, Better Sleep! Dive into the science of micro-organisms with SWEET DREAMS and enjoy a peaceful, healthy night’s rest.
