How it works
-
Phone down at night
When it's bedtime, Cubby falls asleep and your distracting apps lock. You get a few unlocks if you need them, but each one wakes him up.
-
Wake up on time
Your alarm rings at the time you set. Wake Cubby within your time limit, with up to three quick missions to get you moving if you want them.
-
Adventure awaits
Keep your phone down and get up on time, and Cubby goes adventuring the next day. Every adventure brings home a surprise plant.
Watch your garden grow
Every plant Cubby brings home is planted in his garden. The more consistent your routine, the fuller it gets.
Why a steady schedule
-
Bedtime is where it starts
Screen light at night holds back melatonin, the hormone that makes you sleepy.1
-
Mornings set your body clock
Waking up at the same time every day keeps your body clock in sync.2
-
A steady schedule changes a lot
A regular bedtime and wake-up predicts long-term health better than how many hours you sleep.3
