The development of the app was started on the basis of the nursery teacher’s comment that children sleep well at nursery on a rainy day.

By the subsequent research, it was revealed that not only nursery teachers but also many mothers know it.

However, the mechanism is not well understood scientifically.
A number of hypotheses have been proposed.
Low atmospheric pressure, sound of rain, quiet surrounding, low-light, low atmospheric temperature, high humidity, etc.

We focused on the sound of rain.
The app creates the condition of a rainy day artificially by playing the sound of rain at the bedside.
Since the mental condition of the user gets closer to that on a rainy day, falling asleep in a short time becomes possible.


The app runs on smartphones(iPhone), tablets(iPad/iPad mini/iPad Air) and other iOS devices(iPod touch).
