Abstract
Sleep deprivation affects millions of adolescents, taking a toll on both their physical and mental health. More specifically, the damaging aspect of lack of sleep is the lack of REM (rapid eye movement) sleep, a stage of sleep that is crucial in the development of the brain. Existing methods used to track sleep are reviewed and a method to use a camera to detect and report REM sleep cycles at home is developed. Finally, a description of the outstanding barriers to a full working prototype are provided along with a plan for completion.
