Registration - Identify your status

Before starting using the LateSleeper to track your sleeping habits, it is necessary to identify existing problems.

Users need to go through the registration process to help them identify the causes of deprivation and potential improvements by categorizing them into specific groups.

Each group would have their unique content that would help to motivate the users to keep the good sleeping habits.
