This dataset describes a total of 1581.56666666667 hours of activity distributed into the following categories:
Some of these categories will be explored in detail, starting from right to left.
RQ: How has my sleep pattern evolved over the semester, and what other variables does it correlate with?
First, we remove the naps (sleep periods not exceeding 3 hours) and plot the duration over time. Weekday nights are separated from weekend nights because I consistently sleep more during the weekends. The left facet shows weekday nights, while the right facet shows weekend nights:
Notice a distinct downward trend before October 9th. Before my roommate left on October 9th, he often played League of Legends with his friends late into each night, sometimes stopping past 3 AM. Respecting his decision to do so, I adjusted my sleep schedule accordingly to minimize his guilt. I was able to restore my initial sleep schedule after he left, and it stayed pretty consistent throughout the rest of the semester (except finals).
Throughout the semester, I tried to attend as many 8:30 breakfast meetups as I can. This explains why my wake-up time on weekdays was consistently between 8:00 and 8:30. This graph comparing wake-up times between weekdays and weekends illustrates this fact:
As a result, how many 8:30 breakfast sessions was I able to attend?
Seems like I was able to attend 47 8:30 breakfast meetups. Not bad!
In summary:
First, how much time did I spend outside of class doing assignments for each course? How do these sums compare?
Procrastination is probably very evident in my time tracking data. To attempt to demonstrate its presence, let’s graph that again in facets along with each course’s assignment deadlines:
Looks like I must admit to rampant procrastination for CHEM 125 (Gen Chem Lab) Post-Lab writeups and EECS 203 (Discrete Math) weekly homework sets. I should do better next term.
