Sleep Shift Scheduling Tool
Good Night Machine
Summary
Astronauts have been facing many problems in space but one of the most important ones is sleep.To overcome this issue we designed a four-part project; The first part is the capsule.The capsule has separate compartments to prevent mixing fluids with this blood pressure is controllable by heat.The second part is amniotic fluid to use in the “rem-sleep” technology.This fluid allows you to breathe in and also lets you sleep inside even for moths.The third part is the electrodes that are connected to the machine they prevent the burns can be caused by the treatment.Forth part is inspired by the electro stimulative treatments in physiotherapy which by stimulating muscles it prevents muscle loss .
How We Addressed This Challenge
This project covers all areeas thats been given by the challange in a creative way. Exersize problem has been solved by the electro stimulation machine, diet problem has been solved by vitamin and mineral absorbation from skin and sleep problem has been solved by the specially designed capsule.
How We Developed This Project
We got our min insparation from futuristic books. Humankind always dreamed to go to the space and far galaxsies but even if we can achive the speed of light it can take years to go to some galaxsies. To prevent aging in this tim period we designed a capsule that sleeps the person and contains them in the amniotic fluid which is a fluid that you can breath in.
How We Used Space Agency Data in This Project
In field notess from 2016 it's been told that " It is more likely that one’s normal rhythm of sleep may be at odds with duties" thats why our first prototype was designed to preserve the carcadian rythm.
