How did you sleep last night? If you’ve ever struggled to sleep, you’re not alone. Nearly every adult has experienced sleep issues at some point. In today’s fast-paced world, we often prioritise productivity over a good night's rest. But sleep is much more than just downtime. It’s essential to our physical health, mental well-being, and overall identity. We spend about a third of our lives asleep, yet this part of ourselves remains largely unknown – a side of us we’ve never really met. This thought triggered the thinking behind Samsung’s latest campaign, Samsung Sleep Self, designed to showcase the power of its Samsung Galaxy Ring like never before.
Tapping agency Cheil Germany, Samsung launched a bold and immersive experiment: Participants from diverse backgrounds and ages were invited to wear the ring for seven days and nights as it gathered their real-time sleep data. Using advanced AI, machine learning, LLM technology, and video processing, each participant’s unique sleep patterns were turned into a digital doppelgänger – their very own “Sleep Self”. These AI-driven avatars could speak, listen, and interact, giving the participants a deeply personal glimpse into a side of themselves they had never met before.
The experiment left participants amazed, allowing them to interact with their digital selves and unlock new insights about their health, sleep, and overall well-being. As artificial intelligence continues to reshape marketing campaigns everywhere, Samsung and Cheil Germany have achieved something truly profound, using AI and the Galaxy Ring to help uncover one of life’s best-kept secrets: Our sleep.
