How to use SleepAnalyser:

Sleep Analyser records your movement during your sleep. To start, just click on "Start Recording" and lay it beside your pillow onto the mattress. It will record all your movements and visualise it. It also writes the data into a log file, so you can later on analyse it with "Show Log".

A record is stopped when you click on "Stop Recording" or close the Recording window.
Old records can be visualised with clicking on the "View Record" button. There you can also delete old records.

SleepAnalyser has also a test function. It will record and visualise much faster. Also it will make a beep when ever your movement goes over the trigger level.

Graph:

Movements are shown yellow. If the movements are stronger, the bars go higher. At the bottom of the graph you can see how long you sleep without movements. Times longer than 30 minutes are green, 15-30 minutes dark green and shorter dark red. The white line shows the trigger level for the bars. You can lower/raise it in the with the up/down buttons. You will have to experiment with it as it is different for everybody depending how soft your mattress is and how far away you put the phone. Those conditions will have an affects how the phone records your movement.

Notes:

The application will drain the battery maybe arround 20..40% per night. It is suggested to put the phone onto the charger while using SleepAnalyser for a longer time.

Make sure the phone is not covered with your pillow, so it will not overheat.

If you don't feel confident to have a phone close beside hour head for the whole night, switch it to "off line" mode. In general phones only send with high power when you use them.

ToDo:

I don't know yet how to implement it. If you know how to realise it in Python with PyQt, please let me know!
