A Serious Need For More Smiles
Listen to an adorable alarm
During my time in the FIFO construction industry, I witnessed first-hand the impact that working away can have on the mental health of workers and their families.
The strain can become so difficult for some, they even take their own life. In fact, 190 people in construction die by suicide in Australia each year.
These numbers alarmed me, and I too, have been through my own journey of anxiety, depression and suicidal thoughts.
I wanted to give back to help support people living with or impacted by anxiety, depression or suicide, so I designed the WakeMe app to help FIFO workers, and other Australians just like you, stay connected to your friends and family and boost your mental well-being, by starting each day with a smile.
Did you know that smiling is infectious?
Scientists have found that not only is smiling infectious, it helps lower the bodies response to stress, decrease depression and anxiety, boost the immune system and help reduce blood pressure and pain.How will you use WakeMe to share your smile?

Challenges created to go beyond starting the day with a smile
Challenge yourself and your loved ones to do something out of the ordinary today.
You could challenge someone to buy a coffee for a stranger, offer to pay for an elderly person’s groceries at the supermarket, or even challenge them to do something a little crazy such as skydiving, or face a fear they’ve been avoiding, whilst offering to support them.
This challenge is about being spontaneous and maintaining your smile, not just in the morning, but throughout the day.
Once complete, ask them to send you an image and challenge you back through an alarm.
Tag #wakemechallenge on social media – We’d love to see!
Stepping away from the screen challenge Whilst we have created an App, here at WakeMe, we understand that many mental health struggles are attributed to increased screen time and the use of social media. This is why we’re also challenging our WakeMe users to set an alarm for two hours or more whenever you find yourself wasting time on your phone. Until that alarm plays you have to use that time to do something fun or spend it with someone special without any screen time.
