Inspiration Hi, I'm Manasa, a 10th grade student. Like a lot of teens, I stay up late — and the next day, my mind feels foggy, I'm tired in class, even in taekwondo. I built SleepOva to fix that. It locks your phone at bedtime with a password, so 'just one more video' doesn't turn into another sleepless night. This is just the first version, but it's a real step toward better sleep, better focus, and better days — for me, and for teens like me.
What it does Teen sleep deprivation is a hidden performance killer — foggy thinking, fatigue, and poor focus at school and beyond. SleepOva is a self-lock app that helps teens commit to a bedtime by requiring a password to unlock their phone after hours, breaking the 'just one more video' cycle. And also I wanted to add that is if the teens or any people want to extend the time they have to write the note for next version that is future version of themselves to know what was the reason that they had made a excuse or they were prompt and also I wanted to add a timer which makes you to set a time for everyday and also you can change in special days when you have a meeting or any important family functions and all
How we built it so basically I built by using MIT App Inventor as a first step toward better sleep habits for students like me and also took some help of social media like youTube and google ai to learn about the app building and the disadvantages of the sleep deprivation
Challenges we ran into It was really difficult dealing with my taekwondo tournaments and school exams but still beside these I gave my full potential this app as I myself suffered the sleep deprivation, the foggy morning and the blank mind was really difficult as me myself being a athlete and student
Accomplishments that we're proud of that we have at least made a way for teens like me who wants to learn more or due to distraction like scrolling down the social media app through social media. I am here to support my generations as there are many assignments and other things to complete of school or apart from school So that they can also maintain this things and also their sleep
What we learned
The very first thing I have learnt from this program or app is that sleep is really important if you don't sleep your day next morning goes foggy and you go completely blank whenever you have been asked a question because I myself have been went through these and also while I was researching and learnt that sleep deprivation can be bad to your health that is both mental and physical and also about time management and learn a very important thing
What's next for SleepOva start there can be many other tools which can be added for example a note for yourself if I were you have more work to do or you want to watch another video you can put the password and also a note that why you did this so that next day you can know what excuse or what a reality you had given and also you can set a timer which can be change every day so that if there is family function today you can keep it at the time whenever you want so that the apps doesn't be shut up before itself and you don't get disturbed
