Why Overslept!?
Due to my hectic schedule, bad sleeping schedule, and online classes I have been missing work, appointments, and meet-ups with my friends due to oversleeping. It doesn’t matter how many alarms I set I sleep through. The app is meant to notify the party involved that I won’t be making it with a 30-minute notice instead of having them wait for me and wonder where I’m at. The event that inspired this app idea was me missing work due to oversleeping this week since you are supposed to notify if you won’t make it with a heads up and not just leave the staff hanging. This can be said with non-work-related events since it isn’t a good look not showing up without notifying the other person, especially if the other person shows up and it’s only a meeting between you two. I chose a red color for the app design because red keeps you awake and can remind you to be alert, as the ideal would be that the user wouldn’t have to use the app. The reason I decided to focus this app on communicating to the other party that the user can’t attend is so that the user can oversleep with fewer consequences.
