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.

Project: SHELTER

Summary

We help astronauts and people living on Earth improve their lives, first through their sleep.

How We Addressed This Challenge

Humans need help with their sleep schedule. Turns out, most people don't sleep as much as they should. And astronauts aren't an exception, what's more: it's worse for them. So, we decided to create a solution for that. Our app helps people to sleep better. But, we decided to do more: Our app also helps you with nutrition, and exercise, while at the same time doing it in a fun way.

How We Developed This Project

We used Adobe XD and Photoshop, and did a lot of brainstorming.

How We Used Space Agency Data in This Project

What influenced our work the most was: "Tips for a Healthy Sleep Learned from Space Medicine", by JAXA. Before reading it, our views about how sleep really worked were quite limited. It helped us create a more realistic solution, tailored to work for both astronauts and people living on Earth.

We also needed to know at which speed can astronauts connect to the internet. We used to think they didn't have a good internet connection, but, turns out they do. We
