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.

Summary

Since the beginning of the space program, astronauts have dealt with the realities of spaceflight from microgravity in weak muscles and space radiation, to sleep deprivation and disorientation. Both before and during astronauts’ flights, changes in biological clocks, or circadian rhythms, contribute to sleep deficiency and increase the use of sleep-promoting medications.For most people, the circadian rhythm is a little longer than 24 hours. On Earth, our daily exposure to light from the sun keeps us synchronized to the 24-hour day. As they circle around Earth in orbit, astronauts experience a sunrise or sunset every 45 minutes. Understanding the effects of spaceflight on astronauts .

How I Addressed This Challenge
  1. I developed a tool in this project for addressing the challenge named: Sleep shifting scheduling tool that helps to solve this sleep loss and by the cause of it , fatique. I have found out this tool :https://in.pcmag.com/small-business-from/105155/humanity-review.Humanity is the future of shift scheduling software but it's not inexpensive. However, if you're ready to test the waters, then you'll get plenty of support along the way .I wanted to achieve by finding out a best tool to solve this challenge.
How I Developed This Project

This was the reason that I choose this topic over challenge : Shift work disorder is a chronic condition that is directly related to a person’s work schedule. Shift work disorder is considered a “circadian rhythm sleep disorder” by the International Classifications of Sleep Disorders—meaning there is a misalignment or de-synchronization in sleep patterns. With shift work disorder, you have a hard time sleeping when sleep is desired, needed, or expected.

Unfortunately, shift work can also be very disruptive to a person’s health and wellbeing. In a 2008 National Sleep Foundation poll, only 63% of shift workers (versus 89% of non-shift workers workers) said their work schedule allows them to get enough sleep.

So as I wanted to solve this and find out the right solution by taking it as the right challenge to solve.

I have used git hub software to solve and develop this project and provided the link here :https://github.com/Kamalesh3112/Sleep-shifting-scheduling-tool-Challange-/projects

How I Used Space Agency Data in This Project

I have used NASA data's as well as from outside sources. I researched deeply for to solve this challenge. NASA has developed a test which uses a range of eye movements to detect acute sleep deprivation in people.

Lack of sleep is thought to play a role in up to 30 per cent of all motor vehicle crashes and even implicated in catastrophic events, such as the Chernobyl nuclear disaster, researchers said.

As sleepy individuals are often unaware of their performance impairments, there is a critical need for objective measures of deficits due to sleepiness to prevent accidents, they said. NASA 's data contained many information that was useful for to solve this challenge.

Project Demo

I have provided the youtube link that I have made this video a quite of 4 months ago :https://drive.google.com/file/d/1phg66LHEaBx6P3cuOieyiuHCGWql5neB/view?usp=drivesdk.

I was quite familiar about this challenge before
