Global Nominee

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.

Sleeping App

Summary

We are the Purple Jaguar team and both we and the astronauts suffer from various problems with sleep. By that we made a smart app that guides the user to have a better quality sleep:A sleep schedule generated by the algorithm, based on the responses and characteristics of each user;Graph of data corresponding to the hours the user wakes up and goes to sleep;Provide the effective practice tips;A function of temporarily blocking the cell phone between bedtime and getting up, so that the user does not use the cell phone at bedtime;With the help of a thermostat, we can adjust the room temperature to improve sleep;And with that we aim to improve the sleep of both astronauts and earthlings;

How We Addressed This Challenge

We develop on purpose to guide and help people create a healthy sleep routine. Sleep quality, patterns, and duration may vary among countries, but one thing’s clear─people still aren’t getting enough sleep. Why sleeping is so important? Sleep: prevents diabetes; can boost your immune system; can strengthen your heart; makes your mood better; increase productivity; improves memory etc.

Our app idea is out there not only to alert people of the sleep benefits but also guide them with a exclusive sleep routine for each person (based on the user characteristics, which are given by the user).

How We Developed This Project

It is time to take sleep as something MORE SERIOUS. It is more than necessary that the population become aware and start to claim their - more than necessary - whole nights of sleep. This way we will increase our longevity, productivity, and social well-being.

How We Used Space Agency Data in This Project

We use the NASA database and we took this data and used it to do research on the best way to solve the problem, we used this link https://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/station/research/astronauts_improve_sleep/ to find the best solution for the problem.
