Gamification can be used to encourage people to perform challenging tasks. Gamification can also be useful in altering unwanted habits and enhancing subjective well-being. Everyday health is affected by sleep-wake habits to a significant extent. Therefore, we can come across gamified products and mobile applications related to subjective well-being and sleep/wake activities. This paper presents a study investigating whether gamification can be used to affect sleep-wake behaviors in a positive way. The paper presents a quantified relationship between wake-up, go-to-sleep, work (start) hours and gamified features. For this purpose, a gamified mobile alarm clock application called the Sleepy Bird was designed, created and tested in a user study. The study included twenty-six participants in an A-B experimental set-up: thirteen participants using a gamified version and thirteen participants using a non-gamified version of the app for two weeks. The participants who used the non-gamified version had a poorer motivation to begin their day at the required times in comparison to those who used the gamified version. It was also observed that gamification made favorable modifications to participants’ sleep-wake behaviors.

使用移动应用游戏化改善睡眠-觉醒行为

游戏化可用于鼓励人们执行具有挑战性的任务。游戏化还可以用于改变不良习惯和增强主观幸福感。日常健康在很大程度上受到睡眠-觉醒习惯的影响。因此,我们可以遇到与主观幸福感和睡眠/觉醒活动相关的游戏化产品和移动应用程序。本文提出了一项研究,调查游戏化是否可用于以积极的方式影响睡眠-觉醒行为。该论文提出了起床、入睡、工作(开始)时间和游戏化特征之间的量化关系。为此,一个名为Sleepy Bird的游戏化移动闹钟应用程序  在用户研究中设计、创建和测试。该研究包括 AB 实验设置中的 26 名参与者:13 名参与者使用游戏化版本,13 名参与者使用非游戏化版本的应用程序两周。与使用游戏化版本的参与者相比,使用非游戏化版本的参与者在规定的时间开始一天的动机较差。还观察到游戏化对参与者的睡眠-觉醒行为进行了有利的修改。
