When I work, I doesn't like to see light around me but focused on what I am using to see it.
To be more productive I sometimes use Pomodoro Technique using my browser.
To sleep well you have to follow the right sleeping cycle to have a good night sleep.
So I decided to make a smart lamp that has the features I want to help me.
Smart Desk Lamp Features
Control Brightness Level using control knob.
Pomodoro Technique using buttons and LCD.
Alarm According to Sleeping Cycles.

2- Describe the project idea and general features. How would it work?
Main Idea:
Smart Desk Lamp that can help you be more productive and focused on your activities.
General Features:
It can provide you with the proper amount of light need using a control knob to adjust the brightness to decrease eye strain.
It can help you be more Productive by using the Pomodoro technique Integrated with it. "Timer, Technique Explanation"
It can help you with a good night sleep by setting the alarm "Cycles Calculation, Sleep Cycles Article"
Adjust the alarm when to wake up and it will tell you when to sleep.
Adjust the alarm when to sleep and it will tell you when to wake up.
How it Works:
Power Source: 220 AC.
Control: Arduino UNO.
Light Source: LEDs.
Light Control: Control Knob.
Sound Source: Buzzer.
Times View and Control: 7 Segment or LCD, and Buttons or a Keypad.
3- Sketch your project: You may use pen and paper or a simple sketching tool like Microsoft Paint or Photoshop

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
