Data story reflection

The data was collected over the period of a 11 days, through an online survey that put the data into google sheets. 8 people answered this quiz almost every day for the time period of the collection. It asked questions such as, how are you feeling, how many hours you slept, how many hours you spent relaxing, how many hours you spent working, how you felt, if you were an only child or had siblings, and what you did to relax.

To create my data visualization, I used google sheets to organize and find trends in my data. With the use of pivot tables, I was able to compare data and find correlations. I then took the data that had a relationship, and put it into a new sheet and cleaned the data into a format that was more graphing friendly. Using the graphs function, I was able to more clearly show the trends in the data.

From our data, I found that hours spent working and sleeping had a relationship. In my graph, as hours spent working goes down, hours spent sleeping goes up. My explanation for this is that people who spend more time working often work late into the night, cutting into their sleep time. If they spend 10 hours working and 2 hours sleeping, there is a high chance that they stayed up all night working on something.

To the people who only slept 3-5 hours, I recommend that they go to sleep earlier, even if they still have work to do. A teacher will understand that getting sleep is essential for teenagers, and if they are staying up until 4 in the morning doing homework, they will probably let you pass on that homework. Another suggestion would be to get your homework done before relaxing. If you stay up until 3 am doing homework, when you were playing video games until 10 pm, that's something that needs to change. Getting more sleep is crucial for teenagers. Studies have shown that teenagers need at least 8 hours of sleep per night to be healthy. My recommendation is strongly supported by my data, but would need further investigation to be sure. Adding a section of asking when that person fell asleep and when they woke up would make things clearer. That way, it would show if people were going to sleep really late, or had to wake up early to go to school.
