隨著現今社會高速發展，人類生活水準及醫療提升致使壽命延長，然而，多數高齡者因生心理退化，及不適當的生活起居規劃，高齡者的生活品質並未隨之提升。影響生活品質的主要因素為生活空間中的配置，因為生活空間中的設施即安排影響在其間生活的行為。對於高齡者而言，睡眠是影響生活品質的關鍵之一。而生活空間中，尤以臥室跟睡眠的關係最為密切，近年來各醫院雖陸續增設失眠門診及睡眠中心供患者就醫服務，但多為使用藥物解決失眠的問題，難免造成藥物依賴或濫用等相關醫療問題；其實就改善失眠方式很多種，如運動、泡澡、放鬆心情等方式，但一般顯少針對改善臥室空間與高齡者失眠相關問題進行探討。若能改善生活空間使高齡者放鬆心情，可提升高齡者睡眠品質減少失眠狀況發生。本研究提出以高齡者的日常生活空間設施著手，從居家環境中臥室助眠情境與使用者行為關係進行研究。運用多感官體驗探討高齡者助眠氛圍與燈具設計，透過燈具讓高齡者身處於具助眠效用的臥室空間內，並藉燈具設計營造高齡者身心靈放鬆的臥室情境，達到助眠之功效。

本研究以觀察高齡者在臥室日常生活中行為及使用經驗，分析適合高齡者臥室情境的因素。研究初期階段，藉高齡者居家臥室訪談，瞭解失眠問題及臥室燈具分類及擺設，並從臥室情境中發掘設計需求點，並實際製作成燈具模型加以試驗及評估，藉此探討適合高齡者臥室情境之燈具設計應注意事項。本研究成果可提供高齡燈具產業開發相關產業之參考，藉由深入瞭解高齡使用者生活經驗，將其融入產品設計開發流程，有助提升高齡者生活品質。

Because of the rapid development of modern society and the improvement of living standard and medicine, the life of mankind become longer. However, most the elderly are suffering from the insomnia due to their mental degeneration and their living space which is decorated inappropriately. Especially, the most relevant factor which might cause insomnia in the living spaces is the bedroom. Although many hospitals have recently established insomnia clinics and sleep centers to provide patients with medical treatments, but many of them use drugs to treat the insomnia.

Actually, there are other ways to solve the insomnia like exercising, taking a bath, and relaxing, yet there are few researches about improving the living space to make the elderly free from the insomnia. If we can improve the the elderly’ living space to let them feel relaxed, we can improve their quality of sleep and reduce their sleeping problems like insomnia. This research begins with the living space of the the elderly and analyzes the living space in the bedroom which can help people to sleep better and user’s behavior.

The atmosphere which can help the the elderly to sleep and the design of the lamps with the experience of the five senses are discussed. This research is to observe the elderly daily life in the bedroom and their experience of using the lamps in order to analyze the atmospheric factors in their bedroom. In the initial stage, the sleeping problems, different kinds of lamps, and the ways those lamps are furnished are explored by interviewing the the elderly in their bedroom.

Based on the analysis, several lamp design features are defired and followed to implement three design proposals of which prototypes are actually made for furthen evaluation. The results of this research can provide the companies which produce lamps for the elderly with reference, so they can deeply understand the experience of the elderly so as to integrate the experience into their product development with a view to improving the living standard of the the elderly.
