I think I'll start a thread where I post every day how late my computer was off the day before, how late I went to bed and how late I got up.
Reason is: my sleeping schedule is kind of screwed up at the moment. The theory is 23:00-00:00-09:00, but I keep going to bed too late.
My conventional methods have failed, so I guess I'll try accountability through social media.
Let's start with last night.
00:15
00:45
10:15
Slightly better...
23:15
00:30
10:30
I'm already running into a construct validity issue here (where there is a gap between the measured construct and the reality it's supposed to represent). Both going to bed and getting up are often not continuous processes for me, and the data simplifies this away.
Last night I laid in bed for a while, still in my clothes, before thinking, "Alright, let's actually go to bed" and got back up to brush my teeth and stuff.
And this morning, I got out of bed still in my nightclothes, did some things, then went back in for a bit.
In both cases, the data only captures the final timestamp when I'm "fully" in bed / up.
"eqyo, why are you turning everything into a science rant" I know, I know, I'll stop, I see looking at the clock that I should've turned this thing off 9 minutes ago, anyway.
@eqyo if you collect several years of such data then you can analyse the correlations between the sleep patterns and the other aspects of your lifestyle or external events.
(but despite having such datasets & analyzing them multiple times my bed times are still a terrible mess...)
@vleugelcomplement I've been tracking my sleep schedule for a while now, though in less detail and on paper. Never though to do statistical analysis on it.
Posting it publicly like this seems to be having some effect, it definitely feels different; I'll see if it lasts.
