THE SLEEP
earth & beyond
Research & Product Venture
Status: Concept Development / Open for Collaboration
A visionary venture exploring how space-inspired design can transform the way we sleep, regenerte, and perform. Born from deep research into neuroarchitecture, mental health, and sexual wellbeing, THE SLEEP reimagines personal space — offering modular sleep pods designed for diverse, high-stress environments.
Designed for astronauts, helping humans everywhere.
THE SLEEP examines modularity, sensory responsiveness, and environmental control as foundations for reimagining sleep across diverse contexts — from homes to space habitats; balancing futuristic vision with human-scale simplicity. Prototypes continue to evolve.
This project is enriched by the contributions of brilliant minds and compassionate experts—from wellness and sleep science to materials research and industrial design. Founded by Michal Ziso, advisors and collaborators include: Gal Yaffe - extreme environments specialist, Hagit Alon - computational biology & gender medicine expert, Adam M Shapiro - sleep medicine & aerospace medical sleep specialist, Tanya Rey - industrial designer and AI wizard, Priel Manes - business strategist, Maria Santaguida - space sexology expert.
We believe THE SLEEP is more relevant than ever. As we navigate a global wellbeing crisis, there’s space for meaningful products that merge science, design, and poly-intelligence. Interested in collaborating, licensing, or investing? Let’s talk.
