2. Wake up
3. Take 3 tests on  humanbenchmark.com/tests/reactiontime
4. chose the median time and take a screenshot
5. send it to me]]> 2021-01-25 03:32:08 UTC https://padlet.com/ealex002/n6x58qltrllip2lb/wish/1120098083 D. Abstract ealex002 https://padlet.com/ealex002/n6x58qltrllip2lb/wish/1120102594 The reason that I did this experiment is because I play video games and a lot of times I see myself performing better under certain conditions than other. I have done experiments regarding posture, filtering blue light, and eating. One experiment I haven't conducted until now is how reaction time is affected by different variables. I felt like the one I could manage to test and record the most efficiently and effectively. I hypothesized that the less sleep someone got, the amount of time it took for the person react. Now it may seem obvious that less sleep may equal longer reaction times, but I was really trying to see if it would go up exponentially or if there were some jumps between times. ]]> 2021-01-25 03:35:52 UTC https://padlet.com/ealex002/n6x58qltrllip2lb/wish/1120102594 E.Title ealex002 https://padlet.com/ealex002/n6x58qltrllip2lb/wish/1120107445 Think Fast]]> 2021-01-25 03:39:18 UTC https://padlet.com/ealex002/n6x58qltrllip2lb/wish/1120107445 E. Abstract ealex002 https://padlet.com/ealex002/n6x58qltrllip2lb/wish/1120121958 What I started by doing was organizing a group of 4 people that would do the experiment then I made them sleep for the 5 different times. Then I had them take the test 3 times and send me the median result. From there I collected results.]]> 2021-01-25 03:50:29 UTC https://padlet.com/ealex002/n6x58qltrllip2lb/wish/1120121958 G.Data ealex002 https://padlet.com/ealex002/n6x58qltrllip2lb/wish/1121685349 2021-01-25 13:07:25 UTC https://padlet.com/ealex002/n6x58qltrllip2lb/wish/1121685349 H.Analysis ealex002 https://padlet.com/ealex002/n6x58qltrllip2lb/wish/1121693573 What we can infer from the experiments is that reaction time becomes slower due to lack of sleep. However, my hypothesis was wrong because it doesn't change exponentially. The difference in time of sleep and reaction time in some situations up to 40 ms but in others it stays basically the same.]]> 2021-01-25 13:09:39 UTC https://padlet.com/ealex002/n6x58qltrllip2lb/wish/1121693573 I.Conclusion ealex002 https://padlet.com/ealex002/n6x58qltrllip2lb/wish/1121694304 My hypothesis was partially correct. I thought the reaction time would go up with lack of sleep, which was correct generally. The part I got wrong was when I said It would go up exponentially which it didn't. One way I could have made the experiment better is if i were to have more test subjects.]]> 2021-01-25 13:09:51 UTC https://padlet.com/ealex002/n6x58qltrllip2lb/wish/1121694304 F.Visuals ealex002 https://padlet.com/ealex002/n6x58qltrllip2lb/wish/1121695165 https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/147UwSjXd8c09Rn-tIm-xFEGj20kOlooBsxWhEvQoUYc/edit#slide=id.gb8ba83f95a_0_94]]> 2021-01-25 13:10:05 UTC https://padlet.com/ealex002/n6x58qltrllip2lb/wish/1121695165 F.Visuals ealex002 https://padlet.com/ealex002/n6x58qltrllip2lb/wish/1121740657 https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/147UwSjXd8c09Rn-tIm-xFEGj20kOlooBsxWhEvQoUYc/edit#slide=id.gb8ba83f95a_0_94]]> 2021-01-25 13:21:32 UTC https://padlet.com/ealex002/n6x58qltrllip2lb/wish/1121740657 F.Visuals ealex002 https://padlet.com/ealex002/n6x58qltrllip2lb/wish/1121741972 https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/147UwSjXd8c09Rn-tIm-xFEGj20kOlooBsxWhEvQoUYc/edit#slide=id.gb8ba83f95a_0_94]]> 2021-01-25 13:21:54 UTC https://padlet.com/ealex002/n6x58qltrllip2lb/wish/1121741972
