sleep phase diagram with zeo … missing naps \ud83d\ude41<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n

Anyway, I keep having some problems with the headband<\/a> (or Dry EEG to record the sleep phases).\u00a0 The machine is quite astonishing, light and comfortable.\u00a0 But the developers had a big blind spot when it comes to designing the database.\u00a0 The charts above are not the output of their website.\u00a0 All the charts you see here are practically done by hand.\u00a0 I have to copy paste, adapt, scroll, select by color, open, crop about 4 times. All that to make a little chart like that one!!\u00a0 The reason is pretty simple.\u00a0 Zeo thinks that everybody is monophasic<\/strong>.\u00a0 So they will only save the longest period of sleep.\u00a0 If you don’t pay special attention to your naps and record them on separate files they will just disappear from the record.\u00a0\u00a0 Not good for polyphasic<\/strong> sleep, of course.\u00a0 So if you stop the alarm and put the headband in the docking station.\u00a0 POUF!\u00a0 Gone.\u00a0 I did remember the length of the naps, and the dreams (REM) at the end of it.\u00a0 So I’ve drawn in beige a rough estimate of the nap.\u00a0 Anyway … I’m going to develop my own scripts to record the data and do my charts automatically.\u00a0 This is roughly how it will work:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

My headband talks to the phone and docking station.\u00a0 Then my phone uploads the data to their website.\u00a0 I use their website API to pull the data back to my computer regularly (I have to check if I can grab the full naps or just the core sleep). Then I convert it to a useful format, merge it with my personal subjective observations, and create automatic charts from the data with SVG-fig<\/a>.\u00a0 Wherever you see the funny cat<\/a> it means I will share this code on Github (a place for developers to share and collaborate).\u00a0 Anyway, I’ll keep you posted.\u00a0 When I’m done I’ll share the code so anybody can plot their own data this way.\u00a0 Wish me luck!<\/p>\n
