I Can Haz Sleep?

Inspiration

We wanted to see if sleep patterns could be mapped to mood so that if they do, we could use the sleep pattern to predict an onset of negative emotion. We wanted to make something that would allow the user to realize when depressive symptoms would occur so that they can mitigate the symptoms.

What it does

It displays the amount of hours slept per day in the form of a bar chart, and on top of the bar chart it displays a line graph. The line graph is composed of daily mood data points. A daily mood data point is a rating of how the user felt the most that day with the following options: 1 = VERY not happy, 2 = not happy, 3 = content, 4 = well, 5 = everything is AWESOME.

How we built it

Our program is built as a webapp with a Java/Jetty/Spark/Freemarker-powered back-end that supports the HTML/CSS/Javascript/JQuery front-end. Charts were displayed using the Highcharts JS API.

Challenges we ran into

• Since it was Rebecca's first time making a CSS file, there was a learning curve in order to obtain the formatting desired.
• Rebecca kept running into syntax errors when implementing highcharts in JavaScript.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

• creative story line for our about page
• Rebecca learned how to do front end development using HTML, JavaScript, and CSS
• using highcharts to display the data nicely

What we learned

• Rebecca learned that she really enjoys front end development.

What's next for I Can Haz Sleep?

• Implementation of t-tests to compare the means of two different weeks so that we can see if there is a statistically significant difference in the average amount of sleep per week. This way if there is a significant difference, we can see if our mood was any different between the two weeks.
