How did the Napa earthquake affect sleep? +1627 Google+ Facebook Twitter LinkedIn The South Napa Earthquake was the strongest to hit Northern California in 25 years. Our data science team wanted to quantify its effect on sleep by looking at the data recorded by Jawbone UP wearers in the Bay Area who track their sleep patterns. Napa, Sonoma, Vallejo, and Fairfield were less than 15 miles from the epicenter. Almost all (93%) of the UP wearers in these cities suddenly woke up at 3:20AM when the quake struck. Farther from the epicenter, the impact was weaker and more people slept through the shaking. In San Francisco and Oakland, slightly more than half (55%) woke up.
Once awaken, it took the residents a long time to go back to sleep, especially in the areas that felt the shaking the strongest. Below is a visualization prepared by our Senior Data Scientist Brian Wilt that shows how the South Napa Earthquake’s effect on the UP wearers’ sleep changes with the distance from the epicenter.

Il fallait bien que ça arrive : vu le temps que l’on passe au quotidien sur Facebook à publier des choses plus ou moins intéressantes, un psychologue un peu rompu à l’exercice du numérique pourrait sûrement, à l’heure actuelle, nous faire un diagnostic en 10 minutes passées sur notre page perso.
Nous n’en sommes évidemment pas là, mais il semble logique que quelques geeks aient eu envie de scruter nos éléments de langage pour en savoir davantage sur nous.

New Crisis Response maps feature preparedness information for Hurricane Sandy. Already responsible for a reported 41 deaths across the Caribbean, late-season Hurricane Sandy is expected to make landfall again early this week on the East Coast of the United States. Some are calling the hurricane “Frankenstorm” due to its potential mix of both winter and tropical cyclone weather. Regardless of what you call it, we hope that you get the information you need to make preparations and stay safe if you are in the area. It has the potential to be one of the worst storms the area has seen in decades.
The Google Crisis Response team has assembled a Hurricane Sandy map to help you track the storm’s progress and provide updated emergency information. Posted by Ka-Ping Yee, Software Engineer, Google Crisis ResponseUpdate (Nov. 7, 2012): We recently donated $500,000 to the American Red Cross for relief and recovery efforts related to superstorm Sandy.
