I just posted it to my new weblog for new dads, daddytypes.com. And I'll get my spectroscopy-savvy wife at NASA to take a look as well. Anything to figure out the Mystery of Sleep.

I'll make a url with the raw data stream and email you. I have already been looking at stacked series of sleep probabilities but just didn't pull it into this story. thanks for your perspective- Hi Kaleberg-

You really should do a spectral analysis (FFT) and get a real spectrum. Your chart is the probability distribution, not a spectrum in the signals analysis sense. I may be off on the scale, so I have to estimate things on your sleep probability evolution series, but it looks as if this three hour pattern was present, but noisier, in the past, but is now becoming clearer as Trixie is starting to sleep more regularly. If I remember, REM sleep cyles on a 45 minute basis, with REM deep sleep alternating with a shallower sleep stage characterized by increased digestive activity. 45 minutes is in resonance with 3 hours, so this is suggestive. Do you have a sleep/poop chart? I'm fascinated. Also, to get some more insight on Trixie's emerging sleep patterns, you might make a two dimensional chart of sleep probabilities. Each horizontal line would be the derived sleep probability integrated over four (or whatever) days. This would be a lot like your five month series, except the charts would be thinner and stacked more tightly. Do you have the raw data on your site?

What's up with that? Does Trixie need soothing when she wakes in the middle of the night? Colum does about half the time. You makes charts; I write poems. Here's my sleep poem.

Just want to say thanks for the new hard data. Like many of your fans, the telemetry means the most to me, and I look forward to the day when I can use your expert code to make my own site. I want to be able to track Trixie's sleep and diaper use on my own site, so please let me know when that will be possible. Long time listener, long time caller.
