Sleep Schedule Tracker

• 

  Example Output

Inspiration

• As high school students, we have often neglected our sleep to complete our work
• We wanted to see the effect this has had on our physical and mental health
• We hope that this program will help others in our position prioritize their physical and mental health, starting with their sleep

What it does

• Takes in the user's age, sleep and wake up time
• Using these values and the CDC's recommendations for sleeping hours, the program gives a recommendation on the user's sleeping habits

How we built it

• We first created a method to determine the range of recommended sleep hours given the user's age
• We then created methods to convert the input time to a number and find the numbers of hours slept
• Using the number of hours slept and age, we evaluate the user's sleeping habits
• We used repl.it and google colab to test our methods

Challenges we ran into

• Converting string inputs to numbers to run calculations
• Differentiating between AM and PM times

Accomplishments that we're proud of

• Being able to visualize the relationship between age and recommended sleep through a histogram

What we learned

• How to utilize the split method
• How to create graphs in python

What's next for Sleep Schedule Tracker

• Work on the front-end development to make it more user friendly

Built With

• cdc
• google-colab
