This challenge is exacerbated by a behavioral trend known as <em>revenge bedtime procrastination<\/em>, delaying sleep despite knowing its negative consequences. Existing digital interventions have had limited impact.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This project explores a novel approach to this issue by integrating <strong>data physicalization<\/strong>\u2014the creation of physical objects that represent personal data\u2014to support reflection and behavioral change. Through a three-phase research process involving surveys, focus groups, and iterative prototyping, the study investigates how tangible representations of screen time and sleep patterns can increase awareness and reduce procrastination before bedtime.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By combining personal informatics with interactive, physical tools, this research aims to enhance youth mental health and develop actionable design guidelines for future interventions that are both meaningful and effective.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Keywords<\/strong>: Data Physicalization, Personal Informatics, Sleep and Youth Mental Health, Revenge Bedtime Procrastination, Human-Centered Design&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"w-screen px-6 cu-section cu-section--white ml-offset-center md:px-8 lg:px-14\">\n    <div class=\"space-y-6 cu-max-w-child-5xl  md:space-y-10 cu-prose-first-last\">\n\n                \n        <div class=\"cu-column cu-component not-contained mx-auto grid max-w-5xl md:grid-cols-3 gap-6 md:gap-10\">\n            \n\n    \n    <div class=\"not-prose cu-card rounded-lg @container md:max-w-xl flex flex-col gap-3 bg-white shadow-lg shadow-cu-black-100 text-center group duration-300 ease-in hover:scale-[1.02] hover:shadow-cu-black-200\">\n                    <figure class=\"px-6 pt-8 pb-2 mb-2 overflow-hidden rounded-t-lg cu-figure--round\">\n                                    <div class=\"relative\">\n                        <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.carleton.ca\/rds\/assets\/graphics\/grey-bg.jpg\" alt=\"Background grey\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\" \/>\n\n                        <div style=\"letter-spacing: -3px\" class=\"absolute text-2xl transform -translate-x-1\/2 -translate-y-1\/2 left-1\/2 top-1\/2 bg-cu-black-50 text-cu-black-700 sm:text-3xl md:text-4xl lg:text-5xl\">\n                            <p>\n                                A\n                                S\n                            <\/p>\n                        <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                            <\/figure>\n        \n        <header class=\"px-6 first:mt-6\">\n            <h2 class=\"text-lg font-semibold text-cu-black @sm:md:text-xl leading-6 @sm:md:leading-8\">\n                                    Alexandra\n                    Shevstova\n                            <\/h2>\n        <\/header>\n\n        <div class=\"flex flex-col px-6\">\n            <ul class=\"space-y-2 text-sm text-cu-black-700 @sm:md:text-base\">\n                \n                                    <li>\n                        <strong class=\"font-semibold break-all text-cu-red-700 hover:underline\">\n                            <a href=\"mailto:ALEXANDRASHEVTSOVA@cmail.carleton.ca\">\n                                Email\n                                Alexandra\n                            <\/a>\n                        <\/strong>\n                    <\/li>\n                \n                            <\/ul>\n        <\/div>\n\n                    <footer class=\"px-6 pt-3 mt-auto text-white md:pt-5\">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/positivetechlab\/people\/alexandra-shevstova\/\" class=\"cu-button cu-button--red cu-button--small\">\n                    View Profile\n                <\/a>\n            <\/footer>\n            <\/div>\n\n\n        <\/div>\n\n        \n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Project Summary Sleep issues are on the rise among Canadian youth, with over 60% of students reporting poor sleep quality.
