I let AI build a tool to help me figure out what was waking me up at night(martin.sh)

Dude used ai to determine that slamming a door, moving dishes, or driving a motorcycle near this bedroom woke him up. Revolutionary stuff.

Did you really need to build an ai app to figure out that doors, dishes, and motorcycles wake you up?

hint: your watch is probably lying to you and you're following a normal bifurcated sleep pattern.

AI is melting your real world understanding: https://www.sleepfoundation.org/how-sleep-works/biphasic-sle...

Intrigued by your comment and being someone that have a broken sleeping pattern due to both me being a nervous person and having went through raising 2 kids, I went to the linked article hoping to learn something new about my pattern. And it turns out it's just about talking the habit of "siesta" - so having a short sleep period during daytime - and NOT about wake up in the middle of the night naturally.

So, I find totally inappropriate the snarky comment about OP and AI melting anything.

In the third paragraph:

Prior to that, many people across different continents and cultures followed a biphasic sleep schedule. They went to bed in the evening and slept for a few hours, waking up around midnight. Then, they would stay up for a few hours to eat, tend to their children, or add wood to the fire, before finally falling back asleep for their second sleep phase.

And it goes on to mention this pre-industrial biphasic ‘schedule’ many times throughout the article.

Good article! Not agreeing with the statement before the link

Also, not sure if you’ve taken the time to read the post but it clearly states that I’m not using AI to analyze the data. The point of posting this was a different one

I’m happy because I can clearly hear what wakes me up at night. I knew I wake up from noise and now I can clearly see it in the data that I wake up right after door slams, noisy motorbikes, car horning, and dishes from the kitchen (own and neighbors)

After taking action I now sleep better and don’t have those random wake-up moments.

I often wake up at 2-4 AM long enough to look at a clock - then fall back asleep. I’ve never even considered that it could be something in my environment waking me up!

This person wasted an entire weekend, spent a shit ton time with LLM and contributed to CO2 emissions, water table depletion just to come to the conclusion that he needs to wear fucking ear plugs or use a white noise maker?

Anybody living in a mid to large city or urban area could have told you that. What a waste of resources.

This is another dumb AI project idea which i would have done at some point too if I didn't know better. It's one of those things where doctors will just go ahead with the fix even if they haven't evaluated the exact diagnosis, since the fix will probably be the same regardless. The human mind wants certainty though so I get it, but the fix doesn't need to be preceded by a pinpointing of the exact cause.

god forbid a person wants to understand and have fun doing that

This is cool don't get me wrong, but surely overcomplicated? Why not just record audio to disk the whole night then eyeball the waveform for loudness spikes? If you just don't connect it to any network at all, there's no data breach risk (or am I misunderstanding the justification for the noise-detection toggle thing?).

Also the AI-generated hero image looks vile.

Thx for the feedback about the hero image. I just removed it. (you weren’t the only one pointing it out)

The intention was to have something less detailed than the screenshot in the post.

About the other thing: yes this would have worked for a night or so. I wanted to be able to go back and forth between nights and compare. I also had concerns about the SD-card durability and storage capacity. Still, after an hour into letting the coding agent do its thing, I was impressed by the result, so more and more ideas popped into my head

Makes sense. Hope you get better sleep!
