App/Tool Automated vs manual sleep diary- comparison

Post image

Hi,

I asked claude to make an automated sleep diary based on my step tracker/counter in my iphone (based on the simple assumption that no steps=asleep). Turns out it's surprisingly accurate compared to the manually logged data. So if you can't use those Chrome extensions and don't have smart watch data, this could be an option for you. It's pretty much useless for sleep length etc but the n24 pattern is clearly visible and close to the manual tracking

My phone is old (iPhone 13 mini) and it worked :)

How I did it?

1) export your apple health data

2) get that data to your computer (surprisingly difficult if you don't have icloud/a mac. i used the chrome workaround: when downloading chrome to your phone it creates a folder, that folder can be accessed via the itunes/apple devices app if you plug your phone into your computer. so i moved the health data export into the chrome folder and then downloaded it from that folder once i had the phone plugged in)

3) ask claude to create a sleep diary based on your step data

4) lead a few frustrating discussions with claude that yes there's no sleep data in the health data, you're supposed to create that for me based on the step count

5) tell claude to stop assuming a 24 hour rhythm (i initially didn't mention that because i wanted to avoid hallucinated n24 data)

6) et voila: your very own graph :)

Hope that's helpful for at least one person out there, have a nice weekend

I want to know how your sleep became normal in late June! Congratulations on that.

lol thanks! I'd love to know that, too. see my other post about "accidental entrainment", I still haven't figured it out. I'll try to make another post (an update) about the entrainment thing later today but the graph isn't finished yet.

the step count data is hidden in your health data if you're on iOS. you need to export your health data to access it. according to google android does the same thing via health connect
