My sleeping patterns

Surprisingly, I started to prepare for this week's assignment a little bit earlier. While working on the group's project (where we are using datasets retrieved from quantifiedself.com) I decided to try self-tracking tools on myself in order to come up with ideas on what can be interesting to study. Hence, I downloaded a bunch of apps that can track my personal data. One of them – SleepBot – interested me the most since my relationships with Morpheus have always been very intriguing. So, on 9th of October this application started tracking my sleep patterns.

It took quite some time to extract and clean up the data from my phone. Not going deep into the details, it should be noted that finally I had a dataset consisting of information about my sleep patterns from 9th till 21st of October 2014.

On the first table you can see the duration of my sleep in particular day. We can see that generally I was sleeping more than eight hours a day.





Next table depicts the details, for example, the time when I fell asleep and woke up:




Application gives to its users an option to rate each sleep (from 1 to 5). I was interested in looking closer on how did I define the quality of my sleeps those days, so next bar chart shows both the duration of the sleep and the grade I gave to it. We can see that the lowest grades were given when the duration of the sleep was less than eight hours.



















This is another way of visualizing the same data:


























Moving to the last graph, we can see that the highest grade - 5 - was given to the sleep when its duration was less than 10 hours, while naps longer than 10 hours (wow) got 4, and, finally, naps continuing less than 8 hours got the lowest grades.





In order to sum up, I should note that this exercise was very useful for me. Actually, I have never really been focusing on the fact that I’m oversleeping that much.

P.S. SleepBot records users during the night, which is really creepy, isn’t it?
