What is Sleep Observation?

While there are many apps for sleep induction in the mental health field, 'Sleep Observation' proposes a solution to the problem of 'suffering from not being able to fall asleep after getting into bed' with a unique method not found elsewhere.

🌙 Revolutionary Approach

That method is 'falling asleep while touching your smartphone'.

Conventional wisdom says:

•Looking at smartphone light awakens the brain
•Don't bring smartphones to bed
•Put away phones when sleeping

But we thought:

> The time spent touching smartphones is when we can be ourselves without worrying about anyone. Why do we have to let go of our smartphones when sleeping, when they provide us with healing time?

Development Background

The developer focused on the fact that there hasn't been much development for using smartphones with eyes closed, and thought that if there were content that could be enjoyed with eyes closed, it could create an app that helps with sleep induction.

Initially created for the developer's own insomnia, it has now grown into an app that makes going to bed something to look forward to.
