Am I getting less than the minimum amount of sleep per night than what is recommended? This is a left-tailed question.
I will be analyzing the number of hours of sleep per night that I experienced over a sample of 42 days collected using the SleepScore app on my iphone, which uses sonar sensor technology, called echolocation, to track your breathing and body movement as you travel through each sleep stage. This is important to me because after an injury/procedure I have had much trouble being able to sleep more than 4 hours without waking up due to phantom pains and am curious about how my current sleep patterns line up with recommendations.
Analysis of Daily Decibel Usage
Why this is important?: I use headphones a majority of the time in order to focus on what I am doing and repeated, long-term exposure to loud sounds can lead to permanent damage so I am curious to how my headphone audio level patterns line up with recommendations.
