Sleepagotchi

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.

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!

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
