Sleep Studies: Methodology - Fieldwork

2022/02/01

Research Notes:

• Conducted 50 in-depth interviews with sleepy individuals
• Observed 200 hours of sleep patterns in 3D
• Deployed 5 sleep trackers with varying degrees of accuracy

Key Findings:

• Most participants reported sleeping 8 hours per night, but 5 reported sleeping on the couch
• 3D scans revealed 2 instances of sleep walking, 1 instance of sleep eating, and 1 instance of sleep talking to a cat
• Trackers malfunctioned 3 times due to user error and 2 times due to spontaneous combustion

Next Steps:

• Recruit 10 more participants for the "Sleep on the Floor" study
• Pivot to "Wakefulness Studies" and explore morning routines
• Develop new trackers with better user error resistance and less chance of combustion
