Sleep diary file format bug
alexwashburn1 opened this issue · comments
Hello,
When attempting to read in a sleep diary .ods file, the suggested format provided on the github tutorial page -
https://ghammad.github.io/pyActigraphy/pyActigraphy-Sleep-Diary.html - does not read in the file correctly, unless the following 3 things are corrected:
- The 'Type', 'Start', and 'End' columns must be capitalized to 'TYPE', 'START', and 'END'.
- For the 'TYPE' column, values 'Night/Nap/NoWear' all must be capitalized as well.
- A blank line (on row 2) needed to be inserted between the header line describing the subjectID and the line with the column names ('TYPE', 'START', and 'END').
Thank you!

Hello @alexwashburn1,
thank you for reporting these info. Indeed, the rendering of the sleep diary file format in the tutorial notebook is misleading.
If you want to use a sleep diary, I suggest to start from a copy of the example file used in the tutorial: https://github.com/ghammad/pyActigraphy/blob/master/pyActigraphy/tests/data/example_01_sleepdiary.ods
More generally, in the same GitHub folder, one could find examples for a sleep diary with an extra state or for the start-stop (SST) log (see corresponding tutorial).
Hope that helps.
Best regards,
Grégory
@alexwashburn1 : any update? Did you manage to create and read a sleep diary file?
@ghammad yes, thank you so much for your response and help. The sleep diary file is now reading fine!
@alexwashburn1 Excellent. Glad to know that it works for you. Closing the issue then but feel free to open a new one if needed.
@ghammad That sounds great. Thank you again.
