Alertness level evolution

[GoogleCodeExporter]

First thank you for such a great app!

With electric sleep data, it is possible to calculate someone's alertness level 
and to get alertness level graph among next day. 

This is already used in flight industry to know stewards and pilots alerness 
level according to their last sleeps and flights.

This feature would be high value added and can be useful to people with 
irregular schedules like hospital interns, taxis drivers and flight attendants!

How might alertness be calculated?

Basically alertness depends on
- time of the day (circadian cycle)
- sleep debt (or sleep reservoir)
This article explains how to compute it

I can contribute by providing you the computation of alertness and projected 
alterness given the last sleeps in a java class if you are motivated to do the 
UI!

Be my guest! If what you produce looks promising, I'll definitely work it
into the updates that I'm working on.

electricsleep and whatever sleep, I keep you in touch!
