the piano player

it was chengwei’s annual touch concert with NUS piano ensemble over the weekend. spent quite a lot of time listening to her practising her danse macabre piece. i actually quite like the piece because it is quite…well… macabre. sort of kooky creepy.

my mum came down for the concert with me…

geek obsession – sleep cycle app

i haven’t been so excited about an application for quite a while. happened to see someone on twitter mention that he was thinking of trying the sleep cycle application to get better sleep (which is a perennial problem for me), so i decided to give it a try.

i bought the “Sleep Cycle” application ($0.99 only) and tested it out last night. you put the iphone on charge and start the app, place it on the bed near where you sleep and it will record your movements using the accelerometer. i had major concerns with keeping the iphone on the whole night coz it tends to overheat, but it seemed fine in the morning. based on the cycles, the app will wake you up within a 30min window where you are in the lightest sleep phase, closest to your preset wake up time. it even had a nice little tune to gently wake you up. hehe

at the end of the “session”, you can see a chart of your sleep cycles, which was probably computed based on how movement correlates to which sleep phase you’re in. You can even email a report of your graph:

Sleep statistics for 03 – 04 Mar (Thu).
Went to bed / woke up: 12:50 AM / 7:55 AM
Total time: 7h 04m
Analysis made by Sleep Cycle.

My sleep graph for the entire night:

it’s rather exciting for a geek coz you get to see your sleeping patterns automatically translated into a graph. i bet mathematicians and analysts will get a kick out of this…

You can find out more from here.
