The Nordic Museum is set to gather stories related to sleep from Swedes as part of a project titled "How was your night?" commencing on February 10. This initiative is designed to explore the various ways that day-to-day activities affect the quality and nature of sleep. Project leader Jörgen Löwenfeldt highlights the significance of understanding everyday routines that people overlook, which can vary significantly over time.

Löwenfeldt notes that many modern practices, such as listening to audiobooks or using electronic activity trackers at night, were not part of previous generations' sleeping habits. The museum aims to document these evolving patterns and preferences surrounding sleep, capturing a slice of contemporary Swedish life and its shifts in sleeping practices. This endeavor emphasizes the connection between daytime behavior and nighttime experiences, suggesting that they can influence each other.

The collection of sleep stories is not only about personal experiences but also serves as a cultural record reflecting societal changes. The museum’s effort underlines the importance of seemingly mundane aspects of life, emphasizing how these practices can vary across different periods, thus creating a rich narrative around how Swedes engage with sleep today, compared to the past.
