I kept waking up at ~3-5 AM and built an app for it. Launched today.

Hello everyone,

Quick context: I wake up 2-3 times a week, somewhere between 3 and 5 AM, with a full bladder and my brain just going. Work stuff, random anxieties, things I said in 2014. You know the feeling.

Tried a bunch of things to help me get back to sleep, but mostly nothing worked for me.

So after some research with AI tools and chats, I've learned about some science backed technics and I decided to build an app for that. I tried my own app to help me out, and it helped me to get back to sleep faster and more.

It's called Soften Sleep. Hit the App Store this morning.

If you've have/had this problem, I'd genuinely love to hear if it helps or doesn't.

Happy to hear your feedback, thank you!
