ARSoubrier : Utiliser son téléphone pour ... Use Your Smartphone To Improve Your Sleep. Im forwarding this article to my newborn daughter. Congratulations on the birth of your daughter. It gets a little better after they turn 3 months old, so try and hang on. Will you ever sleep the same again? Not likely. Thanks yall. Its a blessing in a non-rested disguise. you people are doing it wrong.
We are all doing it wrong...since we all live in a vacuum and our world/lifesytle/needs are JUST like yours. Le marché de la santé mobile : en plein boom et très prometteur. Accueil À l'heure des scandales sur les ingrédients de nos plats, de la pollution et des médicaments, la santé est redevenue un sujet de préoccupation et les consommateurs cherchent à reprendre le contrôle sur leur hygiène de vie : la croissance des produits bio, les nombreux labels sur la fabrication des produits, les salles de sports "low-costs"...(...)

Instabeat Is Revolutionary HUD For Swimming Goggles You Can Back On Indiegogo. While the world goes gaga for Google Glass, a small startup has come up with an intriguing new take on a device which can display information before your eyes.
Instabeat is head-up display unit which attaches to swimming goggles and monitors your heart rate, calories, laps and turns during your swim. It’s been live on crowd funding platform Indiegogo for a few days and is already poised to reach its modest funding target ($29,326 raised, with $35,000 being the goal), meaning the product will almost certainly ship. While runners have Runkeeper and many other similar apps to track their goals, swimmers have until now been left out of the tracking game. Instabeat scratches that itch with a streamlined device which reads your heart rate via a (patent-pending) optical sensor that can accurately read the heart rate from the temporal artery on the side of your head, without the need for the annoying chest belt.

How Little Sleep Can You Get Away With? Antonio Bolfo for The New York Times Catching Up Temporary relief for the sleep-deprived on trains and in airports in the New York area. Enter David Dinges, the head of the Sleep and Chronobiology Laboratory at the Hospital at , who has the distinction of depriving more people of sleep than perhaps anyone in the world. In what was the longest sleep-restriction study of its kind, Dinges and his lead author, Hans Van Dongen, assigned dozens of subjects to three different groups for their 2003 study: some slept four hours, others six hours and others, for the lucky control group, eight hours — for two weeks in the lab. Every two hours during the day, the researchers tested the subjects’ ability to sustain attention with what’s known as the psychomotor vigilance task, or P.V.T., considered a gold standard of sleepiness measures.
The P.V.T. is tedious but simple if you’ve been sleeping well. It measures the sustained attention that is vital for pilots, truck drivers, astronauts. Quantified Self Paris a son pearltrees ! InteraXon - Thought-controlled computing - Interaxon. The Quantified Self. Life Hack - The 30/30 Minute Work Cycle Feels Like Magic | Chetan Surpur. A year ago, I switched to the Colemak keyboard layout. I’ve since had zero pain in my hands when typing for many hours straight, I’ve been able to type faster, and I make fewer mistakes while typing. A few months ago, I decided to try the biphasic sleep cycle. It worked as advertised, allowing me to get better sleep and need less of it. I used to sleep for 9 - 10 hours each day, and now I need just 6 - 7.5 to stay just as sprightly, if not more.
A few weeks ago, after these successful life hacks, my friend told me about the eccentric work cycle that he follows. “You might think it’s crazy and stupid, but it works for me,” he said. Immediately, I thought, ‘That won’t work for me.’ ‘Hmmm. You can probably tell by now where this story is going. Abracadabra It works. While working on a software project, I would get stuck on a bug and spend hours trying to figure out what went wrong, addicted to the quest and unable to stop, even when I run out of ideas on what else to try.
Revealing the trick. The Quantified Self. A few months ago I was fatigued and decided to try a more rigorous sleep hygiene routine to see if it would help (it did). To make the experiment fun I thought I’d look for a nifty iPhone app to track the data. After a fairly extensive search I noticed that most of the tools were either highly specialized to a domain (e.g., Sleep On It), or more general purpose (e.g., iLogger). This got me wondering about why there isn’t a universal self-tracking gadget, and what one might look like. Below I sketch some ideas on what such a beast would need to do to support any data-driven effort. I’d love to know if this makes sense to you, and what you think. (Note: I’m excluding memories for life applications such as Gordon Bell’s MyLifeBits.)
Overall functionality Regardless of the particular domain – sleep, exercise, mood, sex, reading, etc. – is there a set of common tools and sensors that could satisfy the majority of data-driven activities? How would it collect these things? As he puts it, The Quantified Self. Welcome to datum. Personal Informatics and HCI, Ian Li, June 2010. BodyMedia FIT Armband. The surprising importance of self-tracking while you’re young and healthy. I already self-track numerous metrics, such as weight, body fat %, cholesterol, sleep, stress, and happiness. However, the Life Extension Conference helped me realize that there are far more things that I should track. Here’s why: - You might discover that you are abnormally low or high in a particular metric, and this knowledge will allow you to quickly and cheaply take corrective action that will improve your quality of life or prevent you from developing a disease. - Although it is useful to know how well you stand relative to the rest of the people your age and gender, knowing how you are doing relative to a past version of yourself is also very helpful as it can indicate some physiological change that has taken place.
So what is worth tracking? Here’s my first cut at things I might want to check periodically: Physical performance: Cardiovascular fitness: Agility/speed: Strength & Power: - Max # of pull ups. Flexibility: Physical health: Mental performance: This is a tricky one. Is there a data-driven personality? Nicholas Feltron: le self-tracking, “de nouvelles formes de communication condensées” Adepte reconnu du self-tracking, Nicholas Feltron revient dans une interview sur cette démarche : pourquoi conserver et visualiser ses données personnelles avec tant de précision ? Vous travaillez actuellement à l’élaboration d’un livre sur les moyens de production artistique.
Considérez-vous qu’aujourd’hui, l’information et les données font partie de ces moyens ? L’information est quelque chose qui se répand partout. Avant, les données étaient le pré-carré des scientifiques et des comptables. Maintenant de plus en plus de gens y ont accès et en produisent à leur tour. On ressent un vif intérêt pour les infographies et les visualisations en tous genres. C’est assurément une tendance lourde. Elles sont généralement réalisées dans un style cartoon et ce sont elles qui sont mises en avant alors qu’il y a tant d’informations pertinentes et de belles histoires à communiquer !

The problem with collecting in any amount of data is figuring out how to present that data in a manner that is meaningful for its intended audience. For example if you want to assess the physical effort you exert during a run a plot of physiological activity (e.g. heartbeat rate) against time will provide you with a relatively simple visual representation of how your body adapts to physical stress. Time series graphs are great for drawing meaning from physiological activity that occurs over a short period of time but how do you draw meaning from long term trends in physiological activity?
As we run The Body Blogger project I’ve become interested in ways I can visual a month or beyonds worth of data in order to provide a better understanding of myself and determine what changes I could make in my life for the better. To that end I’m currently experimenting with heat-maps, where I visual an entire month’s worth of data as a two-dimensional grid of coloured squares. Dagaz - quantified self.
