SLEEP
VIDEOS
All four of these GIF files cover
the same sleep time -
1.) ViCam - Full Size, reduced color

These other files don't show any
more information than the above - they were intermediate files I created as I
was attempting to figure out how to best display this information - the
Logitech (#4) was a 'head shot' cam -
2.) ViCam - Full size and color - 5.52 Meg - 56.6 Kb connection download: 13
min 38 sec [DSL: 1 min 30 sec]
3.) ViCam - Cropped picture, full
color - 2.65 Meg - 56.6 Kb connection download: 6 min 32 sec [DSL: 43 sec]
4.) Logitech - Full size and color -

Notes:
These are animated GIF files - any
web browser should have no problem displaying these files -
You should be able to right click
and save the GIF to your hard drive, if you'd like - loading maybe quicker if
you view it from your own hard drive -
Animated GIFs maybe restricted by
popup blocking software, firewall settings and browser security settings, even
if you save them to your hard drive - the problem is that after you've viewed
the file from the 'net, your browser cache has a copy of that file in it and
your software settings may prevent the animation from the browser cache as well
- if you have a problem, send me a note and I'll be glad to help you out -
The GIF file should loop
continuously - the playback may be 'lumpy' until the file has completely down
loaded -
Full color in a GIF file is limited
to 256 colors - even the full color version is a bit 'blotchy' -
The full size files include the time
stamps from the video capture software - the cropped picture is the same size
image as the full size, but the extra background has been removed, and
unfortunately, the time stamps as well - I attempted to 'mark' the events in
the cropped picture -
I used two cams one is a ViCam, the
other a Logitech - The ViCam was used to capture an image of the whole body and
took 134 pictures during the observation - the Logitech only captured the head
and upper body - both cams were running at the same time and covered the same
period of sleep - however the Logitech
kept triggering from the computer display flicker, which resulted in 300
pictures -
The ViCam GIFs better show the PLMs
- The Logitech animation takes much longer to download, run and is the least
interesting - primarily useful to help determine when I fell asleep and when I
woke up -
