Hey Product Hunt! Thanks to @matteogamba for hunting us. After months of development, we are excited to share our progress with the Product Hunt community! Let me tell you what sleepagotchi is about: Sleepagotchi is an app that rewards users for keeping a consistent sleep schedule with free NFTs and crypto tokens called SHEEP. Users get 1 Free NFT every morning, and 2 Free NFTs if they slept well. In Sleepagotchi, users enter their target bedtime and wake-up time. Users then get different levels of rewards depending on how close their actual bedtime and wake-up times were to their target. Sleep duration and consistency are also rewarded. In Sleepagotchi, every user creates their virtual bedroom called MetaRoom in the app with a bed, carpet, wallpaper, and other furniture. Each item, including the character, in the MetaRoom, is an NFT and can be traded with other users. All NFT items have different characteristics and Power levels. More rare and powerful NFTs reward users with more SHEEP tokens. The sleep is tracked through integration with iOS Apple Health. Sleepagotchi imports sleep data from the user's iOS device and bases rewards on it. Rewards can be earned by users who wear wearable devices to track sleep like Apple Watch, WHOOP, Fitbit, Oura ring, or any other device. Users without a wearable device can also receive rewards if they have "Sleep" mode enabled on their iOS device but receive a slightly smaller reward. An Android version is also planned. Sleepagotchi is an app inspired by collectible card games like Magic the Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh, and Pokemon, Web2 incremental ("idle") games like Cookie Clicker, and Web3 games like Splinterlands. At its heart, Sleepagotchi is a collectible card game with idle mechanics that gamify a healthy sleeping habit. It is a play&own Web3 game rather than a pure play2earn game. Sleepagtochi wants to break away from the x-to-earn model as earning a return on investment should not be the core value of a Web3 App. Instead, Sleepagotchi is a sleep-and-collect app that promotes healthy sleeping habits and allows players to express their creativity in their individual MetaRooms. Currently we have launched an alpha test. Join our discord if you’re interested in participating in the alpha! Let me know what you think about this project in the comments below. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask and I will happily answer them.

@matteogamba @new_user_9f314175a2 Sleepagotchi I enjoy every day. Everyday I greet the morning like it's Christmas 😊. I know it's a lot of work to adjust the app, but I'm rooting for you.

As a lucky tester I really love this game! It's lovely and the design is super cute. The most important thing is it helps me to stick with my sleeping schedule now because I really look forward to opening the sleepboxes the next day! Great project! Gotchi check it out!
Alex Korotkov
@to_fu_dreamer thank you for being our alpha tester!
Anton Kraminkin
@to_fu_dreamer great to hear that you can use the app to stick to your schedule. It has been helping me too - especially for weekend sleep. I am now much more conscious of when I go to bed on Friday and Saturdays. In general, for young people in particular, weekends can really mess up a sleep schedule :)
Anton Kraminkin
Hey, Anton here, thanks to @silver86 for the hunt! Just a few points from me to what Alex has already mentioned: We believe that Web3 mechanics is a new powerful tool for gamification, and we were exploring different ideas on how to apply Web3 rewards to healthy and productive habits. The project started as a workshop project at Harvard, where I am currently doing my MBA. We think of Sleepagotchi, not as a "stepn for sleep", but more of a "Duolingo for sleep wellness". Duolingo's mission is to bring free education to the world, and similarly, we want to bring free access to wellness tools at scale using Web3 tech. Duolingo does not have any content behind a paywall because of its mission, which is why our app is focused on free rewards. We do not have an onboarding cost like many other Web3 games have. Disclaimer: I work as a Product Manager at Duolingo in the Growth & Retention team (gamification features). Sleepagotchi comes around as we see a cultural shift in people's attitudes towards the importance of sleep. Just yesterday, the FT published an article (https://www.ft.com/content/99946...) about growing awareness of the importance of sleep after the pandemic disrupted working lives and rest patterns. We are excited to work on this problem, as we experience it a lot. If you want to learn more about our project, please visit sleepagotchi.com or e-mail me at akraminkin@mba2023.hbs.edu

@silver86 @anton_kraminkin We believe that Sleepagotchi will be recognized worldwide as "Duolingo for Sleep Health". Thank you for helping me get regular sleep 💖. I wish Anton Kraminkin, Alex Korotkov, and the rest of the Sleepagotchi staff all the best✨.
Polina Park
Wow! Such a stunning design! Appreciate your effort creating super detailed video. Looking forward to joining an app.
Alex Korotkov
@polina_park We'll try to do our best to provide as good sleeping experience as possible :)
Anton Kraminkin
@polina_park thank you, Polina, appreciate your kind comments!

Congrats to the Sleepagotchi team on the successful launch of Sleepagotchi! The hard work is paying off, and users including myself are becoming more conscious of their sleeping habits. The team places an emphasis on promoting consistent and healthy sleep schedules through an engaging application. Keep up the great work!
Alex Korotkov
@andersenauditor We are really focusing on improving the sleep habits of our users by incentivizing them to sleep better by providing digital assets for good sleep! Our Alpha Testers tell us that their sleep improves while using the app!
Anton Kraminkin
@andersenauditor, thank you! We try to make our product features and game balance features based on actual science - for example, we do not allow users to change their target sleep schedules daily and still earn same rewards. We want people to stick to a schedule
Viktoriia Oliinyk
It’s first sleep to earn NFT project. You definitely should participate! I’m trying to get an alpha role tester right now!
Alex Korotkov
@vikyxamurmur Hello! Hope you'll be lucky enough to get access to the Alpha during our next raffle!
Anton Kraminkin
@vikyxamurmur hope to see you soon in our Alpha!

I picked up three points. The best part is probably the design that makes me want to touch it all the time. I think this is a feature that other apps don't have. Secondly, the idea of rewards is based on scientific considerations. It is very convincing and satisfying. Lastly, it is fair. Everyone sleeps, so everyone has the opportunity to earn rewards. And Thanks to the app, I now feel like I need to sleep regularly. I look forward to getting up every day. Thank you!!
Alex Korotkov
@takeshing thank you for the review of the app! We are happy to have such awesome community members as you! That helps us to create a better sleeping experience and to help people to stick to a consistent sleep schedule!
Anton Kraminkin
@takeshing, thank you! The design was one of the trickiest problems for us to solve - we probably experimented with around 50 different 2D and 3D styles before settling up on the current choice.
suta
I was attracted by the novelty of earning money just by sleeping and joined the program. As a result of participating as a tester I experienced the value of "Sleepagotchi" that goes beyond just making money. My awareness of sleep has increased and I have become more attentive to my sleeping environment. I even started doing some stretching before bed! I'm glad I found a good project. I'll keep supporting you. From suta#1155
Alex Korotkov
@suta_ The main goal of Sleepagotchi is to make the sleeping routines healthier for the end users! Really glad to see that you became more aware of your sleep! Thank you for the feedback!
Anton Kraminkin
@suta_ thank you very much for your kind words! We rely on our community to build this project a joint success together :)

I really love the App "Sleepagotchi". It helps me a lot to stick to my sleep schedule. The application is made with a very stylish design. For all the time I have never had problems with "how the app works". The developers really appreciate their community and always listen to their opinion! Thank you for everything!
Alex Korotkov
@move2earnmaniac Thank you for the review of the Alpha :) I'll pass to our artists that you love the artwork! They will be pleased to hear that!
Anton Kraminkin
@move2earnmaniac thank you for the kind words! And great to hear it helps you improve your sleep
Harsh Siriah
This is great! Love the idea! I had a tiny doubt, how is sleep tracked? Does it connect to any smart wearables or does the user have to indicate their sleep and wake-up events manually? I find the concept super interesting. Already signed up for the alpha! Great job! Congratulations on the launch!🚀
Alex Korotkov
@harsh_siriah1 Hey! Thank you for the feedback and questions! The sleep is tracked by wearable devices or by Apple Health sleep mode on your iPhone. After your sleep is tracked by Apple Health we took the data from there and give rewards to the users based on how good they sleep. Users set their goals by themselves, and try to stick to them.
Rabeel Riasat
As an Alpha Tester, it was an amazing experience for me to earn something while sleeping. The team has done an amazing job. I would recommend everyone to at least give it a try even though this project is in an early phase but still I never felt anything like that
Alex Korotkov
@rabeel_riasat Thank you for the recommendation! We'll keep the quality of the product at a high level!
Anton Kraminkin
@rabeel_riasat thanks so much for your kind words!
Aurobindo Biswal
Love the concept.

We believe that improving the quality of sleep is important for a rich life. We feel that this project, which focuses on sleep, is wonderful. I feel that more and more people should participate in the service and improve their lives through sleep! I'm rooting for you!!
Alex Korotkov
@tochan_net Thank you for the support! We'll try to improve and gamify sleep for a lot of people!
Anton Kraminkin
@tochan_net, thank you! Agree on that point. And please continue to spread the word around - our growth has been entirely through word of mouth (WOM) so far. At Duolingo, for new initiatives, WOM is a key criterion for deciding whether a new product has reached product market fit .
