For people like me those have insomnia & nyctophobia and we can't sleep in darkness actually neither in a strong bright light 😅 , we need a dim small light to fall asleep but when the sun rises we wake and turned it off.
so when i searched i found this LUMOS idea . a device that have a LED and adjusted the light to match your sleep schedule using your smart phone.
but i hope i will change and add some new feature to it.

I will name it Sleeping buddy, it will have a speaker to listen to relaxing music that help you fall asleep faster, a light sensor that hang out your window to track the sunrise and dim the light more and more till it go off completely and music will stop.
but it's roll don't end there, in the middle of the circle will be another circle that have a screen with an digital clock so when you wake in night you can see it
and in the end it will have an alarm to wake you up & it will not stop till you stand and turned of from the device it self to make sure you all wake & the screen will present to you a brief schedule for your day plan
all of these feature you can handle them from your phone of course
3- Sketch your project: You may use pen and paper or a simple sketching tool like Microsoft Paint or Photoshop

that is the first version so it doesn't count, wait the second version soon ✌️
6- Categorize your project’s User Features into: Minimum, Complete, and Nice-to-have features. List the required action and input components per feature.
6- Categorize your project’s User Features into: Minimum, Complete, and Nice-to-have features. List the required action and input components per feature.
Minimum Features: are the least amount of features that would demonstrate the coverage of all the technical modules and their complete integration
Complete Features: are the set of features that will complete your original project objective and vision
Nice-to-have Features: are the extra set of features that will make the project cooler, yet they need extra time, effort, and/or resources to finish
Minimum User Features
