This project applied statistical learning techniques to an observational Quantified-Self (QS) study to build a descriptive model of sleep quality. A total of 472 days of my sleep data was collected with an Oura ring. This was combined with a variety of lifestyle, environmental, and psychological data, harvested from multiple sensors and manual logs.
