Sleepagotchi is an app that rewards users for meeting consistent sleep goals with digital collectibles. Every morning, users claim a digital collectible from which they can construct virtual collectible rooms. In Sleepagotchi, users enter their target bedtime and wake-up time that they hope to achieve consistently. Users then receive different levels of rewards depending on how close their actual bedtime and wake-up times were to their target and how consistent they were.
The deal team included Eric Weiner, Carl J. Hessler, Lesley P. Adamo, Doreen M. Edelman, Abbey E. Baker, Christian C. Contardo, Andy Gong, and Sara Uz.
