The wellness of one’s sleep could be defined by not just outside noises, but also their breathing capability, possible sleep insomnia, or age of the experimental unit. The only randomization performed was the selection of the experimental units in the family and which treatment they will be given. Another lurking variable could be that putting each and every family member into the pile of options could be difficult. Some distant family members may not be accounted for, or some that are selected might choose not to be a part of the experiment.]]> 2019-04-12 18:25:09 UTC https://padlet.com/bmshr086/ohqkagmlj8g1/wish/351274209 bmshr086 https://padlet.com/bmshr086/ohqkagmlj8g1/wish/351277632 2019-04-12 18:33:40 UTC https://padlet.com/bmshr086/ohqkagmlj8g1/wish/351277632 bmshr086 https://padlet.com/bmshr086/ohqkagmlj8g1/wish/351699993 A total of 21 randomly selected family members were grouped into blocks of 7. Their assignment to the groups were randomized. Ax different treatment is held out within each group, so that all three treatments are performed once. Once this experiment is complete, the treatments are then compared. This design helps us determine the blocking variables that have an impact on the result, and we feel more confident weren’t due to those blocking variables not being blocked.]]> 2019-04-15 15:43:26 UTC https://padlet.com/bmshr086/ohqkagmlj8g1/wish/351699993 bmshr086 https://padlet.com/bmshr086/ohqkagmlj8g1/wish/351701004 To choose our experimental units, we gathered names of all our family members excluding those who were conducting the experiment.

Nature sounds had the highest average sleep of 8. Desired music was the least beneficial, seeing as the average was 4.6. Participants from this experiment decided to start listening to nature sounds as they fell asleep from then on. It is not proven as fact, but an idea that nature sounds improve wellness of sleep.]]> 2019-04-16 16:52:34 UTC https://padlet.com/bmshr086/ohqkagmlj8g1/wish/352043960
