Designing a Sleep Monitor

We spend a third of our lives sleeping, and the quality of our sleep can have a big impact on how we feel during the day. Of course, being that we're asleep during that time, it makes it hard to accurately gauge how comfortable we are at the moment. Sleep studies are one way to get accurate data - but they're a big deal to run! Could we DIY?

Monitoring a sleep environment combined with heart rate data can tell us a lot about our needs. Here are some things that Schluff can do to help you maximize your nighty rest.

Temperature - The ideal sleeping temperature is claimed to be on the cooler side near 65F. Sleeping at temperatures too far from that should result in reduced duration and quality of sleep.

Humidity - Ideally 45%, but anywhere between 30-50% humidity can offer a good nights rest.

Light / Lux - You want these both to read zero during sleep. Recording light levels through the night can help pinpoint regular light disturbances (car headlights, full moon, porch lights, etc).

Noise - Did something go bump in the night? Is it quieter tonight than other nights? Did you wake yourself up again from snoring too loud? Maybe your partner is the noise maker?

Heart Rate - How low can you go? Ideal heart rates will vary from person to person, but generally a low resting heart rate means you are recovered and ready to go. A higher than normal heart rate indicates that you need additional rest. HR can also be used to indicate different states of sleep with REM having an irregular HR and the light and deep having lower more stable heart rates.

The Hookup

This fritzing breadboard diagram is straight forward. Here is the line by line summary:

MCU Power:

Feather [3V] --> Breadboard VCC [Red Power Rail]
Feather [GND] --> Breadboard GND [Blue Ground Rail]

Mic:

Max9814 [GND] --> Breadboard [GND]
Max9814 [Vdd] --> Breadboard [VCC]
Max9814 [Gain] --> Breadboard [VCC]
Max9814 [OUT] --> Feather [A0] (analog)

Heart Rate:

Polar F5 [GND] --> Breadboard [GND]
Polar F5 [VCC] --> Breadboard [VCC]
Polar F5 [OUT] --> Feather #11 (digital in)

Light:

TSL2561 [Vin] --> Breadboard [VCC]
TSL2561 [GND] --> Breadboard [GND]
TSL2561 [SDA] --> Feather #2 [SDA]
TSL2561 [SCL] --> Feather #3 [SCL]

Temp/Humidity:

DHT22 [VCC] --> Breadboard [VCC]
DHT22 [OUT] --> Feather #5
Also connect through a 10k Resistor --> Breadboard [VCC]
DHT22 [GND] --> Breadboard [GND]

The wiring and pin connects can be seen a little easier with the OLED display removed.

The Feather 32u4 BLE datasheet summary can be helpful so I've included it below.

Download Libraries

This project requires a bunch of Arduino libraries. You will need to install all of these libraries to follow this guide.

Open up the Arduino library manager:

Search for the Adafruit GFX library and install it

If using an earlier version of the Arduino IDE (prior to 1.8.10), also locate and install Adafruit_BusIO (newer versions will install this dependency automatically).

Search for the Adafruit SSD1306 library and install it

Search for the DHT Sensor library and install it

Search for the Adafruit TSL2561 library and install it

Search for the Adafruit Sensor library and install it

Search for the Adafruit nRF51 library and install it

You'll need to install the Timer library manually. Download it from the following link and import it into the IDE with Sketch -> Include Library -> Add .ZIP Library

Timer Library

We also have a great tutorial on Arduino library installation at:

Arduino Feather Setup

Arduino Code

This project makes use of four different sensors, a display and BLE for communication so there is a fair amount of code here. To make things easier I've modularized the setup() and loop() code into sections based on each of the different components being used. This way you should be able to cut and paste full functions to work with your own mix of sensors.

Before you can cut and paste the mountain of code this project uses you will need to load up a piece of example code so you can get the second BluefruitConfig.h header file loaded as a second tab in the Arduino App. I'll load up the nRF51 heartratemonitor as an example.

Once the heartratemonitor example is loaded simply select all the code in the first 'heartratemonitor' tab, delete it and go to 'File' -> 'Save As' with a new name for your project. Then go ahead and paste the code below into the first tab with your new project name.

iOS BLE connect

Download the Adafruit Bluefruit LE Connect App from the Apple App Store.

Run the downloaded app and select the Adafruit Bluefruit LE device.

You should now see the data being sent from the Arduino BLE device over to your phone by pressing the 'Uart' button second from the lower left. The data is being sent over in comma seperated format as:

temperature, humidity, light, lux, noise and heart rate

macOS BLE Setup

The library used in this guide is deprecated in favor of the Adafruit_Blinka_bleio library. See this guide for more information: https://learn.adafruit.com/circuitpython-ble-libraries-on-any-computer

macOS offers good BLE support and only requires one library to be installed. The Adafruit Python BluefruitLE library

Download File

Copy Code

git clone https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_Python_BluefruitLE.git
cd Adafruit_Python_BluefruitLE
sudo python setup.py install

git clone https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_Python_BluefruitLE.git
cd Adafruit_Python_BluefruitLE
sudo python setup.py install

This what the default Schluff output looks like on a macOS system which is connected to the Feather 32u4 BLE using Bluetooth and relaying the data to the adafruit.io website. The output is in the order of temperature, humidity, light, lux, noise and heart rate.

macOS Catcher Script

The Adafruit_BluefruitLE library used in this guide is deprecated in favor of the Adafruit_Blinka_bleio library. See this guide for more information: https://learn.adafruit.com/circuitpython-ble-libraries-on-any-computer

This script will run on a macOS system. It will automatically enable bluetooth and connect to an arduino BLE controller. You will need to have installed the necessary package in the macOS BLE setup page, have created an Adafruit.io account and update line #10 of the code below with 'YOUR ADAFRUIT IO KEY'. Please keep the single quotes ' ' around your key.

Logging and Graphing with Adafruit.io

Adafruit.io is a super easy way to save, graph and review your nightly sleep data. The code provided in the macOS Catcher Script will log to adafruit.io. The only thing necessary to do is to create an adafruit.io account and add your key to the macOS catcher script (line# 10). The feeds will automatically be setup.

Please go to 'io.adafruit.com' and create an accountant if you have not already.

This is where you can find the key once logged into your Adafruit IO account.

The feeds will be automatically generated once the AIO key has been added to the macOS catcher script. No setup is necessary on the Adafruit IO site itself. Just start running the catcher script and let the Arduino connect to it.

You can work with and monitor the data by creating groups and dashboards. This is an intuitive process once data is uploading. Here is an example of a group graph I created by combining all my feeds (sensors) and clicking on the 'graph it' option.

Pure Hackery

The code and schematics provided here include some solid examples for monitoring a room environment, a humans heart rate, pushing data to different Apple devices and finally saving everything to Adafruit.io. What I should also dilvulge is how well it actually works.

Here are the hacks:

The light level goes to zero pretty fast. The difference between a pitch black room and a pretty dark room is not being picked up well by the TSL2561 sensor. It does a great job of distinguishing brightness levels during the day.
The heart rate strap provides excellent data, but you need to be within a few feet of the receiver. This means the sleep monitor hardware will need to be right beside your bed.
The sleep monitor has LEDs and a display so this could be a distracting. Some well placed electrical tape could resolve this.
The iOS Bluefruit App will easily catch the data and save it to CSV files. I've not been able to use the iOS Bluefruit App to forward the data directly adafruit.io.
My macOS bluetooth catcher script likes to find reasons to exit so I always start it up with a:
