• Sleep is a crucial aspect of human well-being, with significant implications for overall health and quality of life. In response to the growing concern over sleep-related issues and the need for innovative solutions, this paper presents ‘Sleep Sheep’, an innovative system designed to monitor sleep and promote healthy sleep habits. The motivation behind Sleep Sheep stems from recognizing the vital role sleep plays in our daily lives. Inadequate sleep has been associated with various health problems, including cognitive impairments, mood disorders, and compromised immune function. Thus, addressing sleep-related concerns has become a pressing priority. To achieve its objectives, Sleep Sheep utilizes a smartphone application monitored by a doctor, to collect and analyze comprehensive sleep data, including sleep duration, sleep stages, and sleep disturbances. The collected data is then processed using several algorithms to provide results, which demonstrate its potential to impact sleep quality and overall well-being. By providing users with personalized sleep reports and actionable recommendations, Sleep Sheep makes individuals aware that they should adopt healthier sleep practices. These reports and recommendations, in turn, can lead to improved sleep duration, enhanced sleep efficiency, and a better overall sleep experience. By fostering awareness about the importance of sleep and providing individuals with the tools for being monitored by their doctors and improving their sleep, Sleep Sheep has the potential to make a substantial impact on public health. Ultimately, this innovative system aims to contribute to the well-being and quality of life of individuals by encouraging healthy sleep habits and optimizing sleep outcomes.
