Anita Lillie's Sleep Tracker
Topic: Technology 10:07 am EDT, Jun 16, 2007

This project was motivated by two things: my almost complete inability to get out of bed in the morning, and my fondness for recording data from routine activities and making graphs with that data.

The length of the sleep cycle varies for each person, and averages about 90 minutes. I wanted to try to measure the length of mine, without having to wake up and check a clock. I also wanted to get an idea of how much I naturally move around during the night, and what patterns I might find therein.

To investigate this, I outfitted myself with sensors that would help me determine how my position changes over the course of a night's sleep. I used three accelerometers as tilt sensors, placed on three different places on my body: my forehead, my forearm, and my upper leg.
