Abstract: College students are known to have unhealthy levels of sleep. Using data from the StudentLife Dataset, we analyzed the predictors of “recall bias” regarding sleep. We compared the average of a running, daily, self-reported sleep value over a period of time to the average sleep amount perceived by the students in their PSQI (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index) tests. We found that the variability in the measure of self-assessment of health was related to errors in sleep recall, as were some individual parameters.
