Survival Routines

The final part of the project was to study survival routines. Several choices were given - eating, drinking, sleeping, etc. And also there were several units of measure in which you could keep track of your habits.

Over the course of 4 days I monitored my sleep habits, where I was at the time, when I was sleeping and whether it was intentional or not. I also measured my eating habits based on my nutritional intake of calories. All 4 days were very average for me so I do not believe I have any spiked results, if anything my calorie intake might be slightly lower than it should to account for cone cups of soft drinks while at my job.

I took a graphic representation approach to map my behaviors, using circles to show a 24 hour period and the average activity within. Color theory played a small role in determining the key for the sleep habit chart - showing planned and unplanned and the extent of time I spent sleeping.

The chart on the left describes my sleeping habits and the chart on the right describes my average caloric intake every hour over a 24 hour period.
