  • Patent number: 12193832
    Abstract: A game system encouraging a user to have an appropriate sleep habit is provided. For example, a game program causes a processor to execute: a first step of accepting designation of a first time frame that is a target for taking sleep from a user; a second step of setting a second time frame not coinciding with the first time frame in relation with the designated first time frame; a third step of acquiring first information about sleep taken by the user; and a fourth step of performing game control on the basis of the first information, in which, in the fourth step, the game control is performed in accordance with whether or not sleep is taken in the second time frame regardless of whether a result of sleep of the user is appropriate for the first time frame on the basis of the first information.
