Fixing my sleep using public humiliation and giving away a Kindle

Hiyo Indie Hackers 👋

I've just launched Naprevive.com, a gamified challenge to fix my (and maybe yours) messed-up sleeping pattern 😅

The idea is to hold myself accountable towards my goal, get some real skin in the game by having a stake and document the journey. Here's how it works:

• I have to meet one simple goal for 28 days: waking up before 8 AM

• I have 3 hearts. If I fail a 3rd time, it's game over, and I have to give away a Kindle (or equivalent money) to one of the subscribers.

• It pulls my sleep data directly from my smartwatch (Garmin) and automatically posts it publicly, so I can't fake it, and I am put up for public humiliation if I fail my goal.

• You can subscribe to follow the journey. You can also post on the public board or send me real-time messages encouraging or roasting me.

• I write a log every day in the journal section detailing my experience and learnings, documenting the entire process and letting followers be truly a part of it.

I've been suffering from sleeping issues for over a decade now (see the story page on Naprevive). After trying out many tips and supplements, I realised what I actually need might be accountability and consequence. Naprevive is an attempt at that. I'm more than a week into the challenge, and I have to say it's making a real difference.

This whole idea only works if people like you are a part of it. So, you'd make my day by checking it out. Also, I'm a tiny profile, and my sleep habit is legendary level messed up. So if you sign up, you'll actually have a high probability of winning a Kindle 😄

Besides the challenge, I'd really love to hear from fellow IndieHacker about the product aspect of Naprevive. Could this be helpful for you in building/breaking any habit? Or, how could I turn this into a user-facing product? Do you think it's got any good potential? I'd be super happy to hear any opinions and feedback! 🙏
