Measuring Our Circadian Rhythm: Sleep Patterns in Counties Across the US

Recently Jawbone released a set of interactive maps which show the time people go to bed as well as the length of sleep for people by county for the entire country. This study was based on over one million UP wearers who track their sleep using UP by Jawbone. Less populous counties were blended with neighboring counties to generate significant results. This technique revealed patterns at finer granularity than the state level, such as time zone boundaries and all data is anonymized and presented in aggregate.

Below are two screen shots of our region. But go to the interactive maps and see what the whole country looks like!
