Why We Started Sleep Bank
Mornings shape the rest of the day. Sleep Bank was created to help people follow through on the promises they make to themselves the night before.
The Problem With Modern Alarms
Life works best when our mornings start with intention, not negotiation. Yet most of us rely on alarms that are easy to ignore, delay, or snooze. What begins as “five more minutes” often becomes thirty, and the plans we made the night before slowly fade as the day slips away.
We realized the real problem wasn’t a lack of motivation — it was the system. Alarms rely entirely on willpower, and willpower is weakest the moment we wake up. We created Sleep Bank to remove the negotiation. By requiring a simple physical action to turn off your alarm, Sleep Bank helps you follow through on the promise you made the night before.
Our Phones Are Powerful — and Distracting
Our phones are some of the most powerful tools we carry. They help us communicate, learn, navigate the world, and organize our lives. But the same devices that help us stay connected can also make it harder to stay disciplined, especially in the small moments that shape our daily habits.
When the alarm rings in the morning, the phone that was meant to wake us up often becomes the reason we stay in bed. With endless notifications, apps, and the easy option to snooze, the path of least resistance is always just a tap away. Sleep Bank was designed to break that cycle and make the first action of your day intentional.
