ABSTRACT
Getting the sufficient amount of quality sleep is a key aspect of good health along with a healthy diet and regular exercise. Despite its importance, sleep has been considerably underexplored in the area of human-computer interaction. In this proposal, I describe my research in understanding the need to help improve people's sleep habits and creating a persuasive sleep application to help them achieve their sleep-related goals. The persuasive sleep application involves self-monitoring and feedback features to help people be aware of their sleep habits. My dissertation research investigates a design of a self-monitoring system focusing on how information is presented as a persuasive means accounting for user emotions in the context of receiving concerning health news.

Opportunities for computing technologies to support healthy sleep behaviors
CHI '11: Proceedings of the SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsGetting the right amount of quality sleep is a key aspect of good health, along with a healthy diet and regular exercise. Human-computer interaction (HCI) researchers have recently designed systems to support diet and exercise, but sleep has been ...
SleepTight: low-burden, self-monitoring technology for capturing and reflecting on sleep behaviors
UbiComp '15: Proceedings of the 2015 ACM International Joint Conference on Pervasive and Ubiquitous ComputingManual tracking of health behaviors affords many benefits, including increased awareness and engagement. However, the capture burden makes long-term manual tracking challenging. In this study on sleep tracking, we examine ways to reduce the capture ...
Making Sense of Sleep Sensors: How Sleep Sensing Technologies Support and Undermine Sleep Health
CHI '17: Proceedings of the 2017 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsSleep is an important aspect of our health, but it is difficult for people to track manually because it is an unconscious activity. The ability to sense sleep has aimed to lower the barriers of tracking sleep. Although sleep sensors are widely available,...
