Sleep Shift Scheduling Tool

Sleep loss and fatigue may lead to reduced performance and an increased risk to safety during many activities, including spaceflight. Your challenge is to develop an operational sleep shift scheduling tool that provides autonomous customization of a schedule for sleep, exercise, and nutrition to manage fatigue.

Sleep Scheduler

Summary

Fatigue and sleep loss problem had been encounter by the astronaut due to the limit of sleeping area and the desynchronization of circadian cycle. This will be resulted in the reducing of the astronaut’s performance and even causing in the increasing risk to safety. Hence we develop a sleep shift scheduling tool, which called SleepScheduler. How can the astronauts avoid sleep loss problem by using SleepScheduler. Here are the function provided by the SleepSchedular. First, Nap time alarm alertness. Usually, the best timing for a people to take a nap is around 2 to 3 pm of the circadian time. SleepSchedular had analyze every individual user or astronaut circadian time and will alert them 3

How We Addressed This Challenge

It helps provide a feature where automatically schedule their sleeping time and optimal nap times as well as durations to help reduce their fatigue. There is also a soothing music that plays before they sleep so that it helps them ease into their sleep.

How We Developed This Project

It was developed through sheer will power and two sleepless night. We developed in about a whole day. There was also a lot of help from Mr.Google :)

How We Used Space Agency Data in This Project

We used the provided research to help enhance our algorithm so that is well optimized for those who will go to space as well as those down on earth.
