Abstract
Students need adequate sleep in order to maintain their highest academic potential. Inadequate sleep, specifically Rapid Eye Movement (REM) sleep, can result in focus loss and inattention, which can be detrimental to brain development and function in adolescents. A sleep mask (The ZZZleep Mask) has been developed to directly track REM sleep cycles using an infrared-sensitive camera and integrated tracking software. The ZZZleep Mask system can successfully collect data and detect eye motion.
