Problem

The target audience of this IoT appliance is my husband. As we talked about the problems he had when staying at home, he mentioned he had three pain points for sleep:

  • It’s hard to get up in the morning (especially in winter like this…).
  • He wants to know if he has slept for enough/too long/too short time.
  • Alarms on the phone can’t wake him up. Sometimes he just snoozes or turns off the alarms unconsciously, and then get up late.
