Abstract
This study evaluates the efficiency of sleep science and, what is the optimal way to use it to improve sleep quality and its impact on daily life. The study focuses on what factors potentially affect sleep quality. I collected data from 12 volunteers to track their sleep habits over 2 weeks. The data was analyzed to learn more about how people prefer to wake up, what alarm ranges that they may be comfortable with and want to be using. I designed and developed a smartphone app that uses scientific biometrics that wearable technology can track to serve as a proof-of-concept to demonstrate specific ways people can improve sleep quality and decrease sleep inertia. The app will set an alarm within a preset range of time based on analysis of data collected in Apple Health to find an opportune time to wake the user.
