Shower For Better Sleep (SFBS)

Did you know that a shower before bedtime can improve your sleep? So, what better way there is than to have your smart watch notify you to take your nightly shower, and that is what exactly SFBS does

Inspiration

We used to have trouble sleeping at night, but then after we started showering a few hours before sleep, we started to realize that our sleep was getting better. So, we ventured out to read research papers and scientific articles about the effects of a warm shower on sleep quality. And surprisingly, we did find research that supports our thesis [1], so we decided to build something so that other people can enjoy the benefits of this.

What it does

We made a smartwatch app that notifies users when it is the optimal time to take a nightly shower. And while showering, it will tell you your current body temperature and inform you when the temperature is optimal for showering. It can also show you your sleep analytics based on your past sleep data to see the effects in real time. And lastly, based on the data we collect, we also give users recommendations on optimizing their shower and sleep.

How we built it

We built it using Zepp OS and Javascript.

Challenges we ran into

  • The developing experience was not smooth sailing. For instance, the documentation is inconsistent with the example code found in GitHub. It also contains typos, non-functioning example codes and missing contents. It was difficult for us to get up to speed given the lack of dev documentation and support.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

What we learned

We learned to learn a technology that we'd never used before quickly.
