Abstract

The goal of the project is to determine if people wear Fitness Bands that portray the amount of sleep they get daily and determine the correlation between the amount and quality of sleep compared to a number of factors like nervousness, memory and concentration. The data was collected by an online survey, and the analysis was conducted in Python, which proved the hypothesis that the lack of sleep reduces self-assessment mental acuity.
