This document describes the development of an intelligent running alarm clock called BEDRUNN3R that uses artificial intelligence to address issues with conventional alarm clocks. Specifically, it aims to reduce oversleeping and excessive snoozing, which can negatively impact health and productivity. The alarm clock prototype is designed to run away when activated, requiring users to chase it to turn it off. Tests showed it was more effective than stationary alarms at preventing oversleeping and limiting snoozing. The document provides background on the problems with current alarm use and sleep habits, and discusses the potential health impacts of oversleeping and fragmented sleep from excessive snoozing.
Design of shunt active power filter to mitigate harmonicsager alswed
The designed three phase SAPF based on instantaneous p-q theory was simulated in MATLAB /SIMULINK by using different load conditions i.e. R-L load, suddenly connected R-L load, and additional unbalance R load. Its application was successfully proved and the validity achieved by minimizing the harmonics and improving PF as summarized in Table 2. Consequently, the supply current is almost pure sinusoidal. THD observed was fund to be within the prescribed limits of 5% as recommended by IEEE-519 standard.
Objective and Study Design: This was a cross-sectional study purposed to observe the effects of led bulbs and artificial lights on human health and its physiological considerations on sleep.
Our study addressed two goals. Our first goal was to determine the extent to which light pollution was perceived as a problem by the people. Our second goal was to recommend
applicable lighting ordinances for reducing light pollution. Material and Methods: This study was conducted at All India Institute of Medical Sciences hospital, Bhopal and Narayana medical college, Nellore during the period between May 2014 and August 2015. Three hundred human volunteers, 123 female and 177 male, ages of 18 and 55 were studied in a two-part experiment, which included one Sleep questionnaire regarding light pollution to study each individual's
normal body conditions, and an Assay of melatonin in saliva. Results: The results showed that many participants have a long history of sleeping problems. They usually take at least an hour to fall asleep and tend to wake up frequently throughout the night and feel poorly rested in the morning. The salivary melatonin levels also declined at night due to progressive exposure to artificial light. Conclusion: Through our research, we have obtained data that strongly suggest that light pollution is adversely affecting public health, causing them to experience sleep loss, visual fatigue, weariness, anxiety, and depression.
Can You Develop Insomnia From... Debunking The Myths About This Sleeping Diso...UninsomniaBlog
The document discusses common myths about developing insomnia and separates myths from truths based on scientific research. It addresses whether insomnia can develop from stress, sleep apnea, not sleeping 7 hours, older age, daytime napping, television watching, gadget use, and alcohol use. Most of these are found to be true based on studies showing the factors can disrupt sleep patterns and quality. Short naps and occasional alcohol are not found to necessarily cause insomnia. The document encourages identifying the root causes of insomnia before treating it.
Design and development of a method for detecting sleep roll-over counts usin...IJECEIAES
Sleep plays an important role as it helps human body to rejuvenate, boosts mental function and manage stress. Sleep is restorative function which enhances muscle growth, repairs tissues, maintains health and make physical appearance look or feel better. The lack of sleep in human body can increase the risk of diseases which are asthma, diabetes, depression. For healthy physiological function, sleep is essential and has strong relation to mental condition. Easy way of sleep management is considered for maintaining good mental health. Numerous scientists, doctors and researchers have proposed various ways to monitor sleep, some of those best tests are polysomnography test and actigraphy test. However, taking sleep test covering the whole body with wires and electrodes which is polysomnography test is uncomfortable for patients, and sensors used for different approaches like this are costly and often require overnight treatment and expert monitoring in clinics. Therefore, easy way of detecting roll-over movements which is convenient for patients to wear is proposed. Accelerometer ADXL335 sensor is taped on socks during sleep which is comfortable for patients to wear and do not cause any inconvenience during sleep. Algorithm is proposed to read the dataset and count the roll-over during the sleep based on threshold. Resulting the number of roll-over detected during a sleep period.

that took place in Padua in October 2011
The GIRN Group was established in May, 2006 with the aim to promote the improvement of the quality in the Rehabilitation of People with Neuropsychological Disorders resulting from any kind of cerebral dysfunction.
The Course was structured in 4 sessions: The 1st session concerned the pathway prescription to usage by the patient; the 2nd, aids for communication and environmental control; the 3rd aids for memory and the 4th aids for developmental and sensorial disabilities
Dr. Arshi Pervaiz discusses time management and the benefits of early rising. Some key benefits include:
1) Early risers are more likely to be successful, get better grades, and have higher-paying careers.
2) They tend to be healthier, happier, and have lower stress levels.
3) Late sleeping can negatively impact mental focus, memory, mood, and physical health by increasing risks of heart disease, cancer, and diabetes.
Proper time management through early rising enhances both physical and mental well-being.
This document provides a proposal for a capstone research project investigating the relationship between bright screen emissions from technology and sleep quality. The proposal outlines the purpose, literature review, materials, and methodology for the study. The purpose is to determine if using blue light-emitting devices prior to bedtime affects sleep quality. A literature review found studies showing blue light can decrease melatonin production. The methodology describes constructing surveys about technology use and sleep habits, distributing them before and after an experiment with subjects using smartphones at different brightness levels before bed. The goal is to better understand how screen use impacts sleep.
This document summarizes research on the effects of smartphone use on sleep. It discusses how the blue light emitted from smartphone screens can suppress melatonin production and disrupt circadian rhythms. Melatonin levels naturally increase at night and promote sleep, but blue light exposure from phones in the evening can delay melatonin release and make it harder to fall asleep. The document also provides some strategies to reduce blue light exposure, such as using night light filters, holding devices at an angle, and wearing computer glasses with yellow lenses. Overall, the research suggests that screen time before bed, especially on smartphones, can negatively impact sleep quality.

IRJET- Portable Supporting Device for Narcoleptic PatientsIRJET Journal
This document describes a portable supporting device for patients with narcolepsy. The device uses an EEG sensor to constantly monitor brain waves and detect the onset of narcoleptic sleep. When sleep onset is detected, the device prevents sleep by providing external disturbances through vibration motors, alerting the patient. A study showed the EEG technique could accurately detect sleep onset 87.5% of the time compared to polysomnography. The portable device allows independent monitoring of narcoleptic patients to prevent dangers from unexpected sleep episodes.
The document discusses how artificial light, especially blue light from electronic devices, can suppress melatonin production and disrupt circadian rhythms. A study exposed participants to tablets or tablets with blue light-emitting diodes for 1-2 hours while measuring melatonin levels. After 1 hour, melatonin was suppressed by 7% for the tablet group and 48% for the blue light group. After 2 hours, suppression was 23% and 66% respectively, showing blue light significantly reduces melatonin. The findings suggest limiting device use, especially before bed, to reduce health risks from circadian disruption and sleep deprivation.
The Effect of Sleeping Pattern on the Academic Performance of Undergraduate M...iosrphr_editor
This study examined the relationship between sleeping patterns and academic performance among 190 undergraduate medical students in Ajman, United Arab Emirates. The study found that 48% of students slept 6-8 hours on average per night, while 22% slept less than 6 hours and 30% slept more than 8 hours. Students who slept more than 6 hours on weekends had significantly higher GPAs than those sleeping less than 6 hours. The majority (63%) of students felt 6-8 hours of sleep was needed for better academic performance. The study concluded that students need 6-8 hours of sleep daily for good health and academic success.
This study examined the relationship between sleeping patterns and academic performance among 190
undergraduate medical students in the United Arab Emirates. The results showed that 48% of students slept 6-8
hours on average during weekdays and weekends, while 22% slept less than 6 hours and 30% slept more than 8
hours. There was no significant difference in academic performance as measured by GPA between students who
slept different amounts. However, 63% of students felt that 6-8 hours of sleep was needed for better academic
performance. The study concluded that students need to understand the importance of sleeping 6-8 hours daily
for health and well-being.
Sleep plays an important role in learning and memory formation by promoting the growth of dendritic spines which connect neurons. A study found that mice who learned a balancing task and then slept showed greater dendritic growth than mice who stayed awake, suggesting sleep helps the brain form connections to support long-term memory. Getting enough quality sleep can enhance learning, manage stress levels, support weight control, and improve decision making abilities.
