I’m currently experimenting with using twitter as a way to record my sleep patterns. Of course, just posting status messages saying “Asleep” or “Awake” is way too low-tech and low-effort for me, so I’ve knocked together a quick script to do this for me and do some nifty stuff like infer the length of time I’m spending asleep and awake. Later on I could hack together a program to summarise the data I’ve collected, etc.
There’s probably not many people who a) want to record their sleep patterns using twitter, b) are comfortable doing so using a hastily glued together command-line script, and c) have Python available on their system and are willing/able to install a couple of extra libraries. In fact it’s probably just me. Nevertheless, I’m happy to share if asked. Mind you, I’m still getting the bugs out at the moment.
