The Problem
People are not getting enough sleep. The 'Nothing Much Happens' Podcast is now creating an app that is creating a seamless sleeping experience. The idea is people can be using this app to listen to storytelling episodes that help the user fall asleep while minimizing the number of distractions when using your phone. This means including features such as 'Night Mode' that reduce bright lights on the screen. 'Sleep Time' which once the audio comes closer and closer to the end of an episode it dims more and more and eventually shuts itself off to ensure the phone doesn't continue to play all through the night wasting data. All of these contribute to creating a seamless experience from operation, to listening, to gently falling asleep.
