Gathering data has been not particularly difficult as all the people I interviewed were friends of mine; interviewing them has not been inhibiting at all, as initially I thought it could have been instead. I interviewed them in their bedroom next to the bedside table, in one case, and in external context, in the other cases. I talked with them for about ten/fifteen minutes each. In some cases they gave me a lot of information without asking; in other cases I needed to make a lot of questions. The most difficult thing has been to make neutral questions so that their answers would have been not influenced from me. in what way might I... - live better and less stressed - increase the relax in bed before, during and after sleeping - reduce the effort in reaching things I need when I am in bed * make things I need when I am in bed more accessible - better organize things on my bedside chair ( INITIAL GAP ) - creating some wider and divided spaces - creating a modular structure why and how This is my "why and how" initial exploration. After some days I realized that it was not so good, so I tried to go deeper and I came up with the statements listed above. I think that those statements are better because more general, somehow. But still the exploration remains valid.  |
