Q. What did I learn?
Ignored Circadian Rhythm
Lack of data between hours 2 and 12
Included a new variable, sleep debt:
Optimal sleep – actual sleep = accrued sleep debt.
That’s great, but what about performance?
Conclusion
Sleep and performance will differ person to person BUT the process used to measure it can be used to create an individualised formula for
each person that needs or wants one.
