wakeupPro

Alarm clock in Python.

Given a time, calculate the difference between now and that time. Wait until that time, then activate an alarm. To deactivate the alarm, the user must correctly enter the random string that is printed to the screen.

Examples

Wake up at 07:00 with acclamitory beeps.

$ ./wakeupPro.py 7:00 -a

Take a nap until 14:45 without logging any data.

$ ./wakeupPro.py 14:45 -n

Additional features:

• Option for an acclamitory beep (-a)
  • The alarm will make an exponential regression of beeps at varying frequencies to make waking up a more gradual process.
• Option for accelerated sleep (-x)
  • The alarm will beep a number of times 1 hour before the user is to wake up but not require it to be shut off. This can lead to accelerated REM sleep.
• Anti copy-paste mechanism
  • The output random string cannot be directly copied and pasted to shut off the alarm.
• Logging
  • Logs how long the alarm sleeps on a certain day.
  • It also logs how long it takes for the alarm to be shut off for a metric of fatigue.
  • Option for no logging (-n).
• Extensible
  • New options can be easily added by subclassing SleepEvent.

Graphing

Graphing the number of hours slept each day is intended to be very simple. To graph other data, more complicated parsing needs to be done.

To simply graph the number of hours slept over time as logged by wakeupPro, run

$ graph -T X -a .sleeplog

For a better looking graph, try

$ graph -T X --bitmap-size 1024x1024 -a -S 3 .sleeplog

To graph the amount of time it took to shut off the alarm each day(as some metric of fatigue), try

$ grep .sleeplog -o -P -e " [0-9.]+ " | graph -T X --bitmap-size 1024x1024 -a -S 3
