To me it sounded like they're paying someone to plan not only their kids' naps but also their own AND spend their spare time writing an app to help keep up with the recommended nap schedule. Just take a fucking nap, maybe after going outside for a walk in the park.
replyGosh, going outside for a walk in the park doesn't buy conversion for AI companies, that's such a luddite thing to propose to someone who's got skin in the game.
replyI would have thought so too until our third kid was impossible to out down.
replyWe managed the first two so we are not completely incompetent:) so no it turned out very useful to have a "sleep coach" give us strategies that we hadn't thought of.
Nothing as elaborate as what's above but not completely ridiculous.
Unrelated, but I highly recommend this short sci-fi-ish story by Robin Sloan :)
replyThanks for sharing, this was lovely
replyNo, it’s a plague on anxious, over-optimised middle class parents.
replyThe idea that someone can send over a schedule in advance is pure voodoo. Much like huckleberry, the ml app that makes new parents insane over wake windows.
