    Our Target Group: Business People

    These days, most working people have electronic

    gadgets such as iPhones, iPads, Laptops,

    Blackberries, PCs, etc. nearly glued to their hands.

    Therefore, they are under huge pressure since most of

    their bosses and clients expect them to be available24/7.

    This leads to instances where people are constantly

    checking their devices, even at night and first

    thing in the morning.

    The effect of this does not only lead to sleep

    deprivation, but can also lead to burn-outs,

    pressure on their private and family life and

    the inability to be productive and efficient.

    Our team will tackle this dilemma!
