We then asked the individuals how many hours of sleep they got per night. If it was less than 5 we then asked if they’d like to participate in our study.]]> 2018-11-14 14:58:05 UTC https://padlet.com/tpgib402/2afscnby97yg/wish/304323528 tpgib402 https://padlet.com/tpgib402/2afscnby97yg/wish/304330712 We performed a cross over study where all of our subjects were exposed to each treatment. Our treatments include sleeping with no noise, a white noise machine, TV on, and ocean sounds. This is done so that every subject experiences every treatment and we can get the best results possible. ]]> 2018-11-14 15:08:35 UTC https://padlet.com/tpgib402/2afscnby97yg/wish/304330712 tpgib402 https://padlet.com/tpgib402/2afscnby97yg/wish/304334158 Our explanatory variable was each treatment the subjects received including no noise. ]]> 2018-11-14 15:13:29 UTC https://padlet.com/tpgib402/2afscnby97yg/wish/304334158 tpgib402 https://padlet.com/tpgib402/2afscnby97yg/wish/304335464 After all the subjects have received all treatments, we will then compare the quality of sleep through each treatment. This is done through a decvice connected to their brain to track the brainwaves, verifying they’re quality of sleep]]> 2018-11-14 15:15:10 UTC https://padlet.com/tpgib402/2afscnby97yg/wish/304335464 tpgib402 https://padlet.com/tpgib402/2afscnby97yg/wish/304816830 Our control group would be the subjects who are participating in the study and who are sleeping without noise.

Some lurking variables could be their history with sleep, how comfortable they are sleeping outside their home and possibly how the sleep study setting changes the quality of their sleep ]]> 2018-11-15 14:38:58 UTC https://padlet.com/tpgib402/2afscnby97yg/wish/304818521 tpgib402 https://padlet.com/tpgib402/2afscnby97yg/wish/304821983 Prior to the experiment we matched those who were close and the same age, and had similar sleeping patterns. We the. Assigned one the control, and one with the treatments. This will help to compare results later in the study ]]> 2018-11-15 14:44:21 UTC https://padlet.com/tpgib402/2afscnby97yg/wish/304821983 tpgib402 https://padlet.com/tpgib402/2afscnby97yg/wish/304823365 We will not be able to blind our subjects because they will obviously know what treatment they are receiving based on their hearing. ]]> 2018-11-15 14:46:34 UTC https://padlet.com/tpgib402/2afscnby97yg/wish/304823365 tpgib402 https://padlet.com/tpgib402/2afscnby97yg/wish/304824422 2018-11-15 14:48:19 UTC https://padlet.com/tpgib402/2afscnby97yg/wish/304824422 tpgib402 https://padlet.com/tpgib402/2afscnby97yg/wish/304824722 Our sample size could’ve been bigger at 97. With this we produced a margin of error of 10.15.

This isn’t because possibly we couldn’t have enough subjects for accuracy. There are also factors of lurking variable that could have changed the data. ]]> 2018-11-15 15:05:33 UTC https://padlet.com/tpgib402/2afscnby97yg/wish/304834518 tpgib402 https://padlet.com/tpgib402/2afscnby97yg/wish/304836508 Our study will not be published because of the poor results.
