Why ‘Sleepisle’?
We spend one-third of our lives sleeping; inadequate sleep makes individuals impatient, vulnerable to anxiety, and inefficient. So why not create something that helps battle that!
Tell us about the app.
It’s not a regular, passive sleep-tracker but actively monitors heart rate and plays dreamy melodies to improve your sleep efficiency.
What about the $1,599 Apple scholarship ticket?
It feels good to be recognised; It’s an honour to have made my parents, school, principal proud.
You call yourself a sleepy-head.
During my holidays, while my fellows played, travelled and engaged in summer camps, all I did was sleep.

You are only on the iOS platform.
I have always been a typical tech-savvy iPhone user and it had to be iOS.
Your app had over 3,000 downloads too!
It has been a mixed bag of feedback despite the downloads. Many have applauded the app, other reviews helped me introduce new features.
As a young app expert, which ones do you use the most?
Beyond social media it is mostly health apps, and a few productivity ones like Slack, Mail, To-Do lists etc.
What are you working on?
The experience of travelling in Southeast Asia motivated me to build a virtual reality experience that builds the natural atmosphere in the comfort of your home.
