Quick Start

1. Ensure that you have Java 11 or above installed on your computer.
2. Download the latest sleepy.jar from here .
3. Copy the file to the folder you want to use as the home folder for Sleepy.
4. Open a command terminal, cd into the folder you put the jar file in, and use the java -jar sleepy.jar command to run the application. A GUI similar to the image at the top of this page should appear within seconds.

• list: Lists all your tasks.

User commands

Notes about the command format

• Words in UPPER_CASE are the parameters to be supplied by the user.
  e.g. in todo DESCRIPTION, DESCRIPTION is a parameter which can be used, such as todo sleep.

• Parameters must be in the specified order.
  e.g. if the command specifies event DESCRIPTION /from START_TIME /to END_TIME, event DESCRIPTION /to END_TIME /from START_TIME is not recognised.

• For adding of tasks with one or more types of TIME (i.e. Plans, Deadline and Events), if any TIME is in YYYY-MM-DD format, it will automatically be converted for you to DD-MMM-YYYY format. For example, event study /from 2023-01-26 /to next Wednesday will be converted to [E][ ] study (from: 26 Jan 2023 to: next Wednesday)
