My experience with Instagram
Evaluation of Instagram
• What can you gain from this app?You can look back and remember moments or times in your life through photos. • Negatives?Anyone can use your photos once they are on Instagram. Stalking/Privacy issues.
• For my Quantified Self project I have chosen to monitor my sleeping patterns.
• I chose this because I have always been curious as to whether I am getting an adequate amount of sleep or not.
The Sleeping Gadget
• I started off by downloading the Sleep Gadget app onto my phone.
• I chose this app over other available apps as it offered graphs, results and you were able to personalise it.
The App
• Once I had downloaded the app I had to submit my own personal information.
• To choose my sleep goal I researched the optimum amount of sleep for a 19 year old and found that it is between 7-8 hours a night.
• Because of this I choose 7.30 hours.
• I also had to choose a delay from when I pressed the Sleeping button to when I actually fell asleep.
• To create the information throughout the app you have to press the sleep button and then a timer starts a ten minute countdown.
• After the countdown ,the app starts to monitor how much time you spend sleeping.
• Once you wake up you have to press the wake up button ( which appears where the sleep button is)
How the app works
• The app then turns the data into a graph.• You can choose whether it is a line graph or a graph or a calendar graph.
• From these graphs you can see that the hours I slept each night increased through the week and then decreased towards the end of the week.
• The app then analyses' the data Its received.
• From this you can see that I have slept 4:06 hours under my target.
• It also shows the averages throughout my sleeping.
• It also shows information such as the most sleep I’ve had as well as the least.
• The negatives to this app is that if I don’t fall asleep within the 10 minute delay I have set then it still counts within the data.
• As well as this I found it difficult to keep reminding myself to actually use the app. It would be better if there was
• It also doesn’t record how long you are awake for, which means you cant put a measurement on whether you are sleeping an adequate amount or not.
