About this Project:
The idea for creating this app stemmed from our personal struggle with sleep. I realized that many people face similar issues, with technology often playing a role in disrupting sleep patterns.
By consulting with teachers and classmates, we discovered that screen time before sleep was a common practice among many. Delving deeper into research, we found that blue light emitted by screens interferes with the sleep hormone, leading to difficulty falling asleep and restless nights. This realization prompted us to develop an app to aid those struggling with sleep problems.
