Sleep and Health: The Impact of Sleep on Human Quality of Life

Sleep is a fundamental physiological need of humans and plays a vital role in maintaining physical and mental health. Despite this, many people struggle with insufficient sleep, which can lead to deteriorating well-being, decreased productivity, and increased stress levels. In the context of modern life, the issue of quality sleep has become particularly relevant.

Numerous studies show that sleep duration and quality are closely linked to various health indicators. Sleep deprivation can affect a person’s emotional state, their level of physical activity, and the body’s ability to recover. At the same time, healthy sleep contributes to maintaining good well-being and improving the quality of life.

Understanding the relationship between sleep and health status allows for a better assessment of how daily habits impact the human body. Analyzing sleep data helps identify patterns that can be useful for forming a healthier lifestyle and preventing the negative consequences of chronic sleep deprivation.

Investigate the influence of sleep duration on sleep quality, stress levels, and overall human health using data analysis and visualization methods.

For the research, the open dataset Sleep Health and Lifestyle Dataset was selected. This dataset contains information regarding sleep and health across various ages and professions.

Using pivot tables, the following were calculated:

1. Average sleep quality based on sleep duration.
2. Average stress levels for different sleep quality groups.
3. Average physical activity metrics for various sleep categories.
4. Average sleep duration by age group.
5. Health and stress level indicators for individuals with insufficient and normal sleep.

The visual component of the project was developed in Figma.

The final deliverable was an A1 infographic poster illustrating the relationship between sleep duration and quality, stress levels, physical activity, and overall health. The analysis of the dataset revealed key patterns in how sleep affects quality of life, which are presented in a clear format using diagrams and statistical data.

ChatGPT was used to visualize the idea and prepare mockups.
