App and Solution for Pov statement
- We could create an app that makes a bedroom routine for you based on your preferences and needs.
- I think people will use this app so they can fall asleep faster and wake up in the morning
- I would use this app because I forget to do some things before I go to bed and that sometimes messes up my morning.
App description: it is an app where you take a survey to create a bedtime schedule based on specific things like what time you wake up, what time you go to sleep, your night routine etc. After the survey the app would make a bedroom routine for you to follow each night to help you fall asleep.
