Data visualization - 9 Years of Sleep
- hackermom 16y agoThose shifting, spiral-like patterns that are intermittent throughout the graph, I think those are his holidays (most occur at august), where he, as so many others "like us", turn his night and day around :)
- catalinist 16y agono, you're wrong. the spiral-like patterns are the sleep cycles that gets disrupted by staying up late and waking up late in the day. The holiday are the periods that's all gray -> days with no connect in august
- phoboslab 16y agoHe kinda did say that. And yes, those all gray areas are vacations.
- chaosmachine 16y agoThe spirals are called "Synchronous DSPS", as I recently found out. I've been sleeping like that for about 10 years. There's some similar charts here: http://www.supermemo.com/articles/sleepchart.htm http://www.supermemo.com/articles/sleepchart.htm
- Devilboy 16y agoAug 2009 - Mar 2010 looks like for all 7 months!
- ugh 16y agoSome call it holidays, others call it university :) He seems to have many projects but not much with fixed dates. I can relate, after six months of internship where I always got up at the same time and went to bed at the same time, the, uhm, flexible nature of studying immediately wrecked my sleep cycle.
- nopassrecover 16y agoGenius how he determined this.
- robryan 16y agoI should be able to determine something similar to this in a few years time from RescueTime, with the added bonus of how long I wasted on certain activities.
- crocowhile 16y agoI would love to have access to gmail's log data to check something similar (I study sleep). In my case, the first thing I do when I wake up and the last thing before going to bed is checking my email. I bet I am not the only one.
- nathanh 16y agoThis site does something similar based on when you tweet. It's reasonably accurate for me: http://www.sleepingtime.org/nahurst http://www.sleepingtime.org/nahurst
- jrockway 16y agoI used to adjust my sleep schedule on weekends like he does towards the end of the chart, but I have recently lost that ability. (I think I stopped caring what time it was, so I lose/gain just about two hours a day now. This gives me one day every two weeks where I am awake at 9am :) Someone should do this analysis with HN comment posting times. I only use IRC for being productive, which is not necessarily indicative of when I am awake ;)
