Overview
Many individuals struggle with achieving restful sleep due to issues like insomnia, inconsistent sleep patterns, and difficulty falling asleep. Current sleep apps lack personalized approaches and fail to effectively address individual sleep needs, leaving users feeling frustrated and unable to improve their sleep quality.
To tackle these challenges, I designed Tranquilz, a mobile app designed specifically to enhance sleep quality. Tranquilz focuses on delivering personalized sleep recommendations, relaxation techniques, and sleep tracking features to empower users in achieving better sleep patterns and overall well-being.
