Smart alarm

TL;DR

It’s pitch black outside when your alarm clock goes off. In the midst of the noise, you can think of nothing better than hitting that snooze button for a few extra minutes of sweet sleep. But, despite the allure of snoozing, research shows that it might actually be harmful to your overall health. I wanted to create an alarm that could wake you up without snoozing.

My role

This is a passion project that I worked on
and it will be released soon!

What I did

  • Research
  • Storyboard
  • UI

More snoozing = more fatigue

Research shows that the more times people report hitting the snooze button, the more likely they are to report feeling tired.

50%

Out of 200,000 people hit the snooze button

15%

Hit the snooze more than 3times

Ideation

I wanted to create a simple alarm that asks you a simple math question to help stimulate your brain and wake you up.

1-  At work checking calendar

2- Checking smart watch

3- Opening smart alarm app

4- Setting an alarm

5- Next day at home in bed

6- Alarm starts with a simple math question

7- Correct answer selected

8- Watch returns to normal view

9- Heading to meeting on time!
