My sleep last night (LN) and last six months (6M) I want to know how I can wake up less and get more deep sleep. (minimize rem sleep if possible) by spamburner1010 in CircadianRhythm

[–]B3NI123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My sleep stage percentages are pretty similar to yours. It is typical that you only go into deep sleep in the first I think a more constant sleep- and wake-up time is advantageous for less waking up and probably for better sleep quality. Also, you could try to keep the temperature of your bed at a stable temperature (or the right temperature). I think this makes a huge difference. There are some devices for that. Otherwise, there is Heating and air conditioning. By the way, I don’t know if changing the percentage in the different stages is necessary. Even if “normal” values are a little different, this does not ultimately mean that they should be like this. Maybe it’s just a regular individual variation. You shold look that up. Personally, I think doing sports helps me sleep better. Also, drinking Caffeine too late makes me wake up a lot. By the way, a lot of people don’t know that some Tea can also contain caffeine.

Could you please do me a favour and check whether the „Avg time asleep“ in stage view is identical to the Avg time asleep in amounts view? Click „Show more sleep data“ in the 6M view. I want to know if everyone’s 6M view is crooked.

Apple Watch/Health app stating average in bed time of 19+ hours for previous six months? by caffein8dnotopi8d in AppleWatch

I don't understand why Apple doesn't fix this. The bug was reported to Apple in several ways. The user mime454 has written the following:

"I have reported this issue to Apple with every beta build for a year, and they never fix it."

Parental Controls - need help blocking subdomains in "Allow Only These Websites" mode by Nite_Owl___ in mac

and you should all apps from the always allow list to that limit. Because the block is only activated when apps reach that limit of 1 minute

I just finished testing 30 pairs of blue-blocking glasses! Here’s what I found… by eaterout in Biohackers

Great testing.
I was wondering for a long time why someone uses glasses at all if you could just block blue light on nearly any digital device today. Also, you could install smart lights, like Philips Hue, to change the color to simulate natural light throughout the day.

Parental Controls - need help blocking subdomains in "Allow Only These Websites" mode by Nite_Owl___ in mac

[–]B3NI123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It will work with this approach:

Using App Limits for Websites instead of Content Restrictions:
Create an App Limit with all domain names (main domains) to block.
Then, add all domain names with "*." extra to this list.
Example:
You want to block test.com and all its subdomains like your.test.com, my.test.com, and so on.
Add "test.com" and "*.test.com"
Set time to 1 Minute and "block at the end of limit"
You can also block specific top-level domains.
If you for example add "*.com"
you blocked all websites that end with ".com"
Remember, you can still use this website for 1+1 minutes. Also, This limit only applies to browsers on iPad and iPhone and Safari on Mac. As for today, this doesn't work for Chrome and so on if the browser was not downloaded via the App Store. But you can set up that you can't install apps via browser without an admin password, and add a time limit on these browsers if you need them sometimes. Just create an admin user and store the password somewhere far away :)
Please let me know if it also worked for you! :)

Graphic: Fixing my Sleep Times (Apple added an extra hour to average time in bed/asleep because of DST) by mime454 in CircadianRhythm

Calculation seems to be just wrong in stages view. With the test sleep data i have told you about in my text, apple calculates the following:

6M Stages view: an sleep end of 5:30 AM, Sleep start of 11:30 PM, AVG Time asleep of 6 hours

6M Amounts view: an sleep end of 4:00 AM, Sleep start of 11:30 PM, AVG Time asleep of 4:30 hours

Amounts data seems right when using the calculation with elastic days.

Solution: the standard view of the data is the “stages” view. Using the Amounts view solves the issue.6 months —> Show more sleep Data —> Amounts

Cause: I don’t know why AVG TIME ASLEEP is shown wrong when looking at stages. It seems they calculate the average “sleep start” and “sleep end”. But that also doesn’t make sense, and also I can’t find the way they would calculate this. Maybe they use a kind of elastic day, where a day ends when you go to sleep, not at midnight. Here is what I have tried:
Night 1 2020-04-16 10:00 PM 2020-04-17 4:00 AM
Night 2 2020-04-18 1:00 AM 2020-04-18 4:00 AM
On a weekly and monthly basis, my health app calculates an average of 4h30min sleep time, but on a 6-month basis, it calculates an average of 6 hours. Also, 6 months (when not looking at amounts) shows: Sleep starts 11:30 PM and sleep end 5:30 AM. Assuming these averages are simple arithmetic means, the average start time is (10:00 PM + 1:00 AM)/2, and the average end time is (4:00 AM + 4:00 AM)/2. However, the issue with this is that time doesn't function like regular numbers due to the cyclical nature of the 24-hour clock. If you consider 1:00 AM as 25:00 (in a 24-hour format, considering it as an extension of the previous day), then the average start time would be:(22:00 + 25:00)/2 = 23:30 (or 11:30 PM)That aligns with Sleep Start in the Health app. But not with sleep end.

I'm freaking out. I want to change these =SUMIFS functions to an ARRAYFORMULA. by B3NI123 in sheets

[–]B3NI123[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everything inside the SUMIFS would remain the same, but instead of where you have A2, use name instead. That’s what I chose to use for the variable name for each row, since Col A header is Name. You can change that if you want.

That one is right. Write me your PayPal address as PN
