1. Introduction
This analysis explores the Sleep Health and Lifestyle Dataset, which contains information about 1,500 people — their age, gender, job, physical activity, stress levels, sleep habits, and health conditions like blood pressure and heart rate.
Our goal is to understand: What factors affect how well and how long people sleep?

## 0What this tells us: The dataset has 1,500
rows and 13 columns. The only column with missing values is
Sleep Disorder — 961 people have no diagnosed disorder, so
that field is blank for them.
4. Data Preprocessing
Before analysis, we clean and prepare the data.
# Split "Blood Pressure" (e.g. "120/80") into two separate number columns
bp_split <- strsplit(as.character(sleep_data$Blood.Pressure), "/")
sleep_data$Systolic <- as.numeric(sapply(bp_split, "[", 1))
sleep_data$Diastolic <- as.numeric(sapply(bp_split, "[", 2))
# Fill in the blank Sleep Disorder entries with "No Disorder"
sleep_data$Sleep.Disorder[is.na(sleep_data$Sleep.Disorder)] <- "No Disorder"
# Tell R which columns are categories (not numbers)
sleep_data$Gender <- as.factor(sleep_data$Gender)
sleep_data$Occupation <- as.factor(sleep_data$Occupation)
sleep_data$BMI.Category <- as.factor(sleep_data$BMI.Category)
sleep_data$Sleep.Disorder <- as.factor(sleep_data$Sleep.Disorder)
# Remove the original Blood Pressure text column (we now have Systolic and Diastolic)
sleep_data <- sleep_data[, !(names(sleep_data) %in% c("Blood.Pressure"))]
cat("Done! Final columns:\n")## Done! Final columns:colnames(sleep_data)## [1] "Person.ID" "Gender"
## [3] "Age" "Occupation"
## [5] "Sleep.Duration" "Quality.of.Sleep"
## [7] "Physical.Activity.Level" "Stress.Level"
## [9] "BMI.Category" "Heart.Rate"
## [11] "Daily.Steps" "Sleep.Disorder"
## [13] "Systolic" "Diastolic"What this tells us: We turned the single “Blood Pressure” text into two usable numbers. We also filled in missing sleep disorder labels so every row has a value. The data is now clean and ready.
5. Descriptive Statistics
Here we summarise the key numbers in the dataset — who are these 1,500 people?
Q1: What is the average age of participants?
cat("Mean Age:", round(mean(sleep_data$Age), 1), "years\n")## Mean Age: 48.4 yearscat("Youngest:", min(sleep_data$Age), " Oldest:", max(sleep_data$Age), "\n")## Youngest: 18 Oldest: 80What this tells us: The average person in this dataset is about 48 years old, ranging from 18 to 80 — so we have a good mix of young and older adults.
Q2: How many men and women are in the dataset?
table(sleep_data$Gender)##
## Female Male
## 776 724round(prop.table(table(sleep_data$Gender)) * 100, 1)##
## Female Male
## 51.7 48.3What this tells us: The split is almost equal — 48% male and 52% female — so our results won’t be skewed toward one gender.
Q3: How stressed are people on average?
quantile(sleep_data$Stress.Level)## 0% 25% 50% 75% 100%
## 1 4 6 8 10cat("Average stress:", round(mean(sleep_data$Stress.Level), 1), "out of 10\n")## Average stress: 6 out of 10What this tells us: The average stress level is around 6 out of 10. Half the people score 6 or higher — so stress is quite common in this group.
Q4: How common are sleep disorders?
disorder_table <- table(sleep_data$Sleep.Disorder)
disorder_table##
## Insomnia Narcolepsy None
## 171 87 961
## Restless Leg Syndrome Sleep Apnea
## 103 178round(prop.table(disorder_table) * 100, 1)##
## Insomnia Narcolepsy None
## 11.4 5.8 64.1
## Restless Leg Syndrome Sleep Apnea
## 6.9 11.9What this tells us: 64% of people have no sleep disorder. Among those who do, Sleep Apnea (12%) and Insomnia (11%) are the most common. Restless Leg Syndrome and Narcolepsy are less frequent.
Q5: Which jobs have the most physically active people?
activity_by_job <- sort(tapply(sleep_data$Physical.Activity.Level,
sleep_data$Occupation, mean), decreasing = TRUE)
round(activity_by_job, 1)## Chef Nurse Salesperson
## 100.7 92.2 82.2
## Student Teacher Sales Representative
## 77.4 75.4 71.4
## Software Engineer Artist Scientist
## 60.4 54.7 50.1
## Engineer Manager Accountant
## 49.0 43.4 38.5
## Doctor Writer Lawyer
## 36.6 31.2 24.9What this tells us: Chefs are the most physically active, followed by Nurses and Salespersons. Jobs like Scientists and Lawyers tend to be more sedentary.
6. Data Extraction and Filtering
Here we pull out specific groups of people to look at them more closely.
Q6: How many people are “healthy sleepers” — sleep over 7 hrs AND low stress?
healthy <- subset(sleep_data, Sleep.Duration > 7 & Stress.Level < 5)
cat("Healthy sleepers:", nrow(healthy), "out of", nrow(sleep_data), "\n")## Healthy sleepers: 375 out of 1500head(healthy[, c("Gender", "Age", "Occupation", "Sleep.Duration", "Stress.Level")])## Gender Age Occupation Sleep.Duration Stress.Level
## 5 Female 18 Salesperson 8.8 4
## 14 Male 78 Software Engineer 8.2 4
## 15 Female 23 Scientist 7.8 3
## 26 Male 77 Manager 9.5 4
## 29 Male 72 Scientist 8.0 2
## 30 Female 19 Student 7.4 4What this tells us: Only a subset of participants tick both boxes — sleeping well AND having low stress. This group represents the low-risk category.
Q7: Among overweight people, how many also have high stress?
high_risk <- subset(sleep_data, BMI.Category == "Overweight" & Stress.Level > 7)
cat("Overweight + High Stress:", nrow(high_risk), "people\n")## Overweight + High Stress: 131 peopleWhat this tells us: 131 people in the dataset are both overweight and highly stressed — a group at elevated risk for sleep problems and health complications.
Q8: What sleep disorders do women have?
female_disorders <- sleep_data[sleep_data$Gender == "Female" &
sleep_data$Sleep.Disorder != "No Disorder", ]
cat("Women with a sleep disorder:", nrow(female_disorders), "\n")## Women with a sleep disorder: 776table(female_disorders$Sleep.Disorder)##
## Insomnia Narcolepsy None
## 74 42 507
## Restless Leg Syndrome Sleep Apnea
## 49 104What this tells us: A notable number of women in this dataset have diagnosed sleep disorders, spread across all four disorder types.
7. Visualization
Charts are the best way to see patterns. Each chart below answers one clear question.
Chart 1: How is sleep duration spread across all participants?
hist(sleep_data$Sleep.Duration,
main = "How Many Hours Do People Sleep?",
xlab = "Sleep Duration (hours)",
col = "lightsteelblue",
border = "white",
breaks = 20)
abline(v = mean(sleep_data$Sleep.Duration), col = "red", lwd = 2, lty = 2)
legend("topright", legend = paste("Average:", round(mean(sleep_data$Sleep.Duration),1), "hrs"),
col = "red", lty = 2, lwd = 2)
What this tells us: Most people sleep between 6
and 9 hours. The red dashed line shows the average at about
7.7 hours. The shape is roughly a bell curve — sleep
duration is fairly normally spread across participants.
Chart 2: Does more stress mean less sleep?
ggplot(sleep_data, aes(x = Stress.Level, y = Sleep.Duration)) +
geom_point(alpha = 0.3, colour = "steelblue") +
geom_smooth(method = "lm", colour = "red", se = FALSE) +
labs(title = "Stress Level vs Sleep Duration",
subtitle = "Does stress reduce how much people sleep?",
x = "Stress Level (1-10)", y = "Sleep Duration (hours)") +
theme_minimal()
What this tells us: Yes — the red line goes
downward, meaning higher stress is clearly linked to
fewer hours of sleep. This is one of the strongest patterns in the
entire dataset.
Chart 3: How does sleep quality differ by BMI group?
ggplot(sleep_data, aes(x = BMI.Category, y = Quality.of.Sleep, fill = BMI.Category)) +
geom_boxplot(outlier.colour = "red", outlier.shape = 16) +
labs(title = "Sleep Quality by BMI Category",
subtitle = "Does body weight affect how well people sleep?",
x = "BMI Category", y = "Quality of Sleep (1-10)") +
theme_minimal() +
theme(legend.position = "none")
What this tells us: Each box shows the range of sleep
quality scores for that BMI group. The middle line is
the median (typical person). All groups are broadly similar here, but
Obese and Overweight individuals show slightly more variation in their
sleep quality.
Chart 4: Does having a sleep disorder relate to higher stress?
ggplot(sleep_data, aes(x = Sleep.Disorder, y = Stress.Level, fill = Sleep.Disorder)) +
geom_boxplot(outlier.colour = "red", outlier.shape = 16) +
labs(title = "Stress Level by Sleep Disorder Type",
subtitle = "Are stressed people more likely to have a sleep disorder?",
x = "Sleep Disorder", y = "Stress Level (1-10)") +
theme_minimal() +
theme(legend.position = "none",
axis.text.x = element_text(angle = 20, hjust = 1))
What this tells us: People with Insomnia and
Sleep Apnea tend to have higher stress levels compared to those
with no disorder. This suggests stress and sleep disorders often go
together.
Chart 5: Does age affect blood pressure?
ggplot(sleep_data, aes(x = Age, y = Systolic)) +
geom_point(alpha = 0.3, colour = "darkred") +
geom_smooth(method = "lm", colour = "blue", se = FALSE) +
labs(title = "Age vs Systolic Blood Pressure",
subtitle = "Does blood pressure rise as people get older?",
x = "Age (years)", y = "Systolic Blood Pressure (mmHg)") +
theme_minimal()
What this tells us: The blue line goes
upward — blood pressure tends to increase as people
age. This is a well-known medical fact and our data confirms it
clearly.
Chart 6: How many people have each type of sleep disorder?
ggplot(sleep_data, aes(x = Sleep.Disorder, fill = Sleep.Disorder)) +
geom_bar() +
labs(title = "How Common is Each Sleep Disorder?",
x = "Sleep Disorder", y = "Number of People") +
theme_minimal() +
theme(legend.position = "none",
axis.text.x = element_text(angle = 20, hjust = 1))
What this tells us: The vast majority of participants
have no disorder. Among the disorders, Sleep Apnea and
Insomnia are most common — together affecting roughly 1 in 4
participants.
Chart 7: Which occupations sleep the least?
avg_sleep_job <- aggregate(Sleep.Duration ~ Occupation, data = sleep_data, mean)
avg_sleep_job <- avg_sleep_job[order(avg_sleep_job$Sleep.Duration), ]
ggplot(avg_sleep_job, aes(x = reorder(Occupation, Sleep.Duration), y = Sleep.Duration)) +
geom_bar(stat = "identity", fill = "steelblue") +
coord_flip() +
labs(title = "Average Sleep Duration by Occupation",
subtitle = "Which jobs are linked to less sleep?",
x = "Occupation", y = "Average Sleep Duration (hours)") +
theme_minimal()
What this tells us: Sleep duration varies across
occupations. Jobs at the bottom of the chart are linked to shorter
average sleep — useful for identifying which professional groups may
need targeted wellness support.
8. Correlation Analysis
What is correlation? It measures how strongly two things are related.
- A value near +1 means: when one goes up, the other goes up too (positive)
- A value near –1 means: when one goes up, the other goes down (negative)
- A value near 0 means: no clear connection (zero correlation)
Correlation Heatmap — All Variables at Once
numeric_vars <- sleep_data[, c("Age", "Sleep.Duration", "Quality.of.Sleep",
"Physical.Activity.Level", "Stress.Level",
"Heart.Rate", "Daily.Steps", "Systolic", "Diastolic")]
cor_matrix <- round(cor(numeric_vars), 2)
corrplot(cor_matrix,
method = "color",
type = "upper",
addCoef.col = "black",
tl.col = "black",
tl.srt = 45,
number.cex = 0.75,
col = colorRampPalette(c("firebrick3", "white", "steelblue4"))(200),
title = "Correlation Heatmap – Sleep Health Variables",
mar = c(0, 0, 2, 0))
How to read this chart: Each square shows the correlation between two variables. Dark blue = strong positive link. Dark red = strong negative link. White = no clear link. The number inside each square is the exact correlation value.
Key findings from this heatmap:
| Variables | Value | Plain English |
|---|---|---|
| Systolic ↔︎ Diastolic | +0.91 | Both blood pressure readings rise and fall together — expected |
| Stress Level → Sleep Duration | –0.51 | More stress = fewer hours of sleep — strongest lifestyle link |
| Daily Steps → Heart Rate | –0.42 | More steps per day = lower resting heart rate |
| Age → Systolic BP | +0.35 | Older people tend to have higher blood pressure |
| Stress Level → Quality of Sleep | –0.24 | Higher stress = slightly lower sleep quality |
Significance Test — Is the stress–sleep link real or random?
cor.test(sleep_data$Stress.Level, sleep_data$Sleep.Duration)##
## Pearson's product-moment correlation
##
## data: sleep_data$Stress.Level and sleep_data$Sleep.Duration
## t = -22.7, df = 1498, p-value < 2.2e-16
## alternative hypothesis: true correlation is not equal to 0
## 95 percent confidence interval:
## -0.5426273 -0.4672593
## sample estimates:
## cor
## -0.5059082What this tells us: The p-value is the
probability that this result happened by chance. Here it is much
less than 0.05, which means the link between stress and sleep
duration is statistically real — not a coincidence. The
cor value of about –0.51 confirms it is a
meaningful negative relationship.
9. Regression Analysis
What is regression? It draws the “best fit line” through a scatter of points and lets us say: “For every 1 unit increase in X, Y changes by this much.” It also tells us how well X predicts Y using R² (R-squared) — the closer R² is to 1, the better the prediction.
Simple Regression 1: Does stress predict sleep duration?

geom_smooth(method = "lm", colour = "darkred", se = TRUE) +
labs(title = "Regression: Stress Level → Sleep Duration",
subtitle = "The line shows the predicted sleep duration for each stress level",
x = "Stress Level (1-10)", y = "Sleep Duration (hours)") +
theme_minimal()
What this tells us: The line slopes
downward — as stress increases by 1 point, sleep
duration drops by roughly 0.27 hours (about 16
minutes). The shaded area shows the uncertainty band. R² tells
us how much of the variation in sleep duration is explained by stress
alone.
Simple Regression 2: Does age predict blood pressure?
model2 <- lm(Systolic ~ Age, data = sleep_data)
summary(model2)##
## Call:
## lm(formula = Systolic ~ Age, data = sleep_data)

labs(title = "Regression: Age → Systolic Blood Pressure",
subtitle = "The line shows predicted blood pressure at each age",
x = "Age (years)", y = "Systolic BP (mmHg)") +
theme_minimal()
What this tells us: For every extra year of age,
systolic blood pressure rises by about 0.2 mmHg. The
upward slope confirms the age–blood pressure relationship. R² shows how
much of the variation in blood pressure is explained purely by age.
Multiple Regression: What combination of factors best predicts sleep duration?
model3 <- lm(Sleep.Duration ~ Stress.Level + Physical.Activity.Level +
Age + Heart.Rate + Daily.Steps,
data = sleep_data)
summary(model3)##

##
## Residual standard error: 0.7777 on 1494 degrees of freedom
## Multiple R-squared: 0.2571, Adjusted R-squared: 0.2547
## F-statistic: 103.4 on 5 and 1494 DF, p-value: < 2.2e-16What this tells us: When we combine several predictors together:
- Stress Level has the strongest negative effect — the biggest driver of shorter sleep
- Physical Activity has a positive effect — more active people tend to sleep slightly longer
- The Adjusted R² is higher than in the simple models, meaning combining these factors gives a better picture than any single variable alone
- The overall model is statistically significant (F-test p < 0.001)
Model Diagnostics — Is our regression model reliable?
par(mfrow = c(2, 2))
plot(model3)
par(mfrow = c(1, 1))What these 4 plots check (in simple terms):
- Top-left (Residuals vs Fitted): Points should scatter randomly — no curved pattern. If it looks random, the model fits well.
- Top-right (Normal Q-Q): Points should follow the diagonal line. This checks that the errors are “normally distributed.”
- Bottom-left (Scale-Location): The red line should be roughly flat — checks that errors are consistent across all predictions.
- Bottom-right (Residuals vs Leverage): Spots any single data points that are pulling the regression line away from where it should be.
Model Comparison — Simple vs Multiple Regression
comparison <- data.frame(
Model = c("Simple: Stress → Sleep Duration",
"Simple: Age → Systolic BP",
"Multiple: Combined → Sleep Duration"),
R_Squared = c(round(summary(model1)$r.squared, 3),
round(summary(model2)$r.squared, 3),
round(summary(model3)$r.squared, 3)),
Adj_R_Squared = c(round(summary(model1)$adj.r.squared, 3),
round(summary(model2)$adj.r.squared, 3),
round(summary(model3)$adj.r.squared, 3))
)
print(comparison)## Model R_Squared Adj_R_Squared
## 1 Simple: Stress → Sleep Duration 0.256 0.255
## 2 Simple: Age → Systolic BP 0.120 0.120
## 3 Multiple: Combined → Sleep Duration 0.257 0.255What this tells us: R² is the “score” of each model — how well it predicts the outcome. The multiple regression model scores higher than any single predictor, showing that sleep is affected by several things at once, not just one factor.
10. Conclusion
After analysing 1,500 participants, here are the key takeaways in plain English:
Stress reduces sleep the most. Out of everything we measured, stress level had the strongest link to how long people sleep (r = –0.51). The more stressed someone is, the fewer hours they sleep.
Active people have healthier hearts. People who walk more steps per day tend to have a noticeably lower resting heart rate (r = –0.42) — a sign of better cardiovascular fitness.
Blood pressure rises with age. This confirms a well-known medical fact: as we get older, our blood pressure tends to go up — and our data shows this clearly.
Sleep disorders are common. Over 1 in 3 participants has a diagnosed sleep condition. Insomnia and Sleep Apnea are linked to higher stress levels.
No single factor tells the whole story. Sleep is complex — multiple regression showed that combining stress, activity, age, and heart rate together gives a better prediction than any one factor alone.
Bottom line: The most impactful way to improve sleep health in this population is to manage stress and stay physically active.
