Sleep Map

Sleep well tonight and a piece of the world becomes yours. Sleep Map is a single-player, non-competitive sleep-habit app. Pick your hometown, set the hours you mean to keep, and put the phone down at bedtime. Keep the night and, in the morning, you claim a place — the one next to ground you already hold, spreading outward from home a night at a time. A bad night just slows things down. It never takes anything back. Territory you have earned stays earned, always. There is no punishment here and nobody to lose to. Every place tells you something true about itself before you go under. Not a travel brochure — one specific, surprising, real thing, in about a hundred words. The town where the movies were made before Hollywood existed. The neighborhood where New York City quietly runs out. The small Louisiana city that produced a man who won it all his first season. Many places also carry someone who was born there, with their photograph and their story. Version 1.0 covers the United States: 1,032 places across 59 regions, every one of them written, with 1,028 photographs. The rest of the world is drawn on the map, unlit, and already written — it will arrive in later versions. HOW A NIGHT WORKS Set your bedtime and your wake time. When bedtime comes, start the night and put the phone down. Pick it back up in the morning within the window you set, and the place is yours. Miss the window and you keep everything you had; you just try again tonight. You can let Apple Health confirm the night for you instead, if you would rather not rely on the phone-down honor system. That is optional, and the app works completely without it. WHAT IT DOES NOT DO No account. No sign-in. No analytics, no advertising, no tracking, and nothing to buy. Your sleep times and your map live on your device and are deleted when you delete the app. Everything you read ships inside the app — the stories, the photographs, the whole map — so once your hometown is set it works on a plane with the wifi off. Searching for that hometown is the one moment the app uses the network, through Apple Maps. No streak shaming, no leaderboards, no competition, and no notifications you did not ask for. It's a map of a life, drawn in good nights.
