What people do today

🔧 Fix this

Ideas a builder, maker or community group could start on:

  1. A crowdsourced database where users log ambient temperature and sleepiness levels to identify patterns.
  2. A mobile app that correlates local weather data with user-reported sleep quality and daytime alertness.
  3. A community forum specifically for sharing anecdotal evidence and coping strategies for heat-related sleep disturbances.
