IT folks face stressful work environments with demanding managers and long work hours in front of their laptops / computers.
After getting home, they spend time watching OTT content or video calling their friends till late. This leaves little time for their sleep.
This lifestyle leads to lack of sleep and related problems that arise from that.

This exercise improved my skills to find the user pain points and synthesize the research into actionable insights that could be used to develop features for addressing user needs.
Another learning was to leverage the power of community to inspire users to stick to their bedtime routines. Providing encouragement and nudges that showed how other users were benefitting from the product motivated new users to follow the apps suggestions more seriously.
