Instagram is a photo sharing app that allows users to take photos, apply filters to the photos, and share them with others. Anyone can use Instagram to post and view photos as well as follow other users, including celebrities. However, once photos are posted they are public, so privacy and stalking may be issues. The app also records when photos are posted.

8. • 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
9. • 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
10. • 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.
11. • 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
12. • 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.
13. • 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.
14. • 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.
