Abstract: With an evaluation device, a sleep level of a person being measured is discriminated based on a signal input from a body motion sensor. With the evaluation device, when a go-to-bed button is operated at time T3, time T3 is stored as the go-to-bed time. When a good-night button is operated at time T4, discrimination of sleep level is started. Thereafter, when the good-night button again is operated at time T5, the discrimination of sleep level ends.

Abstract: A data collection and storage method is disclosed wherein data is stored in a sequence of files in time-serial fashion. Data is first stored in a temporary file, following which the temporary file is redesignated so as to receive the name of one of a series of permanent storage files. This arrangement allows the permanent storage files to be read out while data continues to be collected, eliminating a bottle neck which heretofore existed in the art.
