How does ByeBed force you out of bed?
ByeBed replaces the snooze button with a mandatory mission. The alarm only stops when you complete a task — math, push-ups, photo, drawing — that requires full cognitive engagement.
No snooze, no escape
The alarm cannot be silenced by pressing anything. The only way to stop it is to complete the mission you chose during setup.
Variety of missions
12 missions total: math, memory cards, memory sequence (Simon Says), push-ups counted by camera (Apple Vision), shake, drawing, maze, Snake, Flappy Bird, photo of the sky, photo of a made bed, photo of a random object. Choose the difficulty: easy (4 math problems), medium (10 push-ups), hard (photograph a specific object in your home). The challenge wakes you fully.
The science
Cognitive demand at wake-up shortens sleep inertia (Trotti, 2017). The forced action also breaks the snooze habit by removing the reward loop entirely.
