Cool site. I actually didn't realize I could scroll down. Maybe a small arrow or something to show that you can go down after you click?
Ever wake up feeling groggy, even though you thought you had enough sleep? It turns out that by timing your wake up time based on REM cycles, you can wake up more refreshed and more productive. This got me thinking, why don't I put my front-end web development skills to the test and build a tool that will help people optimize their sleep schedule? So, I built a bedtime calculator with React JS, as well as some fancy…
You've launched something and you've managed to get some very positive feedback. That's more than a lot of other people manage. Make sure you remember how good it feels, and use it as motivation to keep building and launching more projects. I hope we see more 'Show HN's from you.
Just choose an evening where you wait until you're feeling sleepy but don't go to bed, start a timer, stay up and after 20 minutes or so you'll start becoming less sleepy.
It might help to do something like watching a video program or playing a game.
After a while you'll start getting sleepy again, hit the timer. That's a rough estimate of your cycle. Because everyone is different.
Wow! The site and its functionality are cool. I am not a web dev, so I can’t say much more than that. What really impresses me is the site’s collection of information and its presentation. It is very thoughtful. Not too much. Not too little. You even included sources for most of your information. Fantastic! Don’t lose focus on your writing skills as you develop your technical skills. Both will serve you well. Great w…
Any tips on improving technical writing beyond what you've mentioned here?
I like the UI & UX of your website.
All the best!
I'm also a morning person, so using the first two hours of the day to work on personal projects or stuff I want to learn is working out well. I guess my professional work can suffer as I start to lose concentration about 1400 but I can live with that!
I actually like your time picker better, but amusingly since I actually wanted to get up at 8am, I had to flick it slightly back and forth first.
Also, sleepyti.me gives me more options, including the "not so healthy" options, which I sometimes need because I don't do the calculation till late in the night but I still want to time my REM cycles.
They also have the "I'm going to bed now" button, which tells you when to wake up, accounting for the 14 minutes to fall asleep. I use that button a lot.
Overall this is great! Just wanted to provide some comparative analysis.
