Overview

In today's fast-paced world, many people struggle to fall asleep due to stress, anxiety, and excessive screen time before bed. While reading is a proven method to wind down, finding the right books and carving out time for reading remains a challenge.

Page to Pillow bridges this gap by creating a dedicated space for bedtime reading. The app intelligently calculates optimal wind-down times based on users' schedules and sleep goals, while offering personalized book recommendations that match their preferences.

Research & Discovery

Our research journey began with existing sleep scheduling apps, but we quickly realized this space was already saturated with solutions like Sleepytime and Rise. We pivoted to explore wind-down apps like BetterSleep, Calm, and Noisli, which focus on meditation and ambient sounds.

However, our research revealed a critical insight: reading is the most effective research-backed method for winding down before bed. Unlike scrolling social media or watching videos, which increase brain activity, reading physically slows you down and improves sleep quality.

This presented our opportunity: the market had plenty of meditation apps and sleep calculators, but nothing that specifically addressed reading as a wind-down tool. By combining sleep scheduling with reading discovery, we could address two problems simultaneously, helping users both find time to read and improve their sleep quality.
