Technology and gadgets surrounded modern world enforces humans to compromise on both sleep and steps. But the same #technology can be used to regulate both and make it consistent.
Measure your sleep quality.
1. Once your #smartphones are placed on a specific position, these apps identify your movement either through a microphone or accelerometer.
2. These apps focus on recording sleep cycle analysis to assist you with determining your sleep status.
What is a sleep cycle? It is basically a duration with 2 categories called rapid eye movement (REM) sleep and non-REM (NREM) sleep.
There are three NREM stages. When you fall asleep, you typically enter NREM stage 1 and then cycle between NREM stages 2 and 3. After that, you go into REM sleep and start dreaming. After the first REM cycle, you start a new sleep cycle and go back into stage 1 or 2, and the cycle starts over.
One cycle normally takes about 90 to 120 minutes before another begins. Most people go through four or five cycles per night (assuming they get a full eight hours of sleep).
Measure your steps count.
1. These apps employ a step detection #algorithm to interpret the data from the accelerometer and identify individual steps. This algorithm is designed to distinguish walking or running movements from other motions, such as shaking the device or riding in a vehicle.
2. To convert the detected steps into distance, the #app estimates the user’s stride length based on their height or other relevant factors. Stride length is the distance covered in one step, and it can vary from person to person.
Measuring both these have their own #challenges and not all apps are 100% #accurate. But they can give our own pattern of the most important and simple natural #therapies that exist.
