Conversely, sleep deprivation can negatively impact physical and academic performance. Data collected from five young adults (n=5) over a seven-day period both day and night, tracking both step count and sleep duration using Apple Health data. Preliminary results indicated a complex relationship (R<sup>2</sup>=0.818). While no direct correlation was found between daily step count and total sleep time across all participants, some individuals exhibited a connection between total sleep time and next-day step count (R<sup>2</sup>=0.6728). This suggests that while overall activity levels may not directly influence sleep duration, the quality of sleep might play a role in subsequent activity levels. Students are empowered through data-driven decision-making, learning to analyze personal health metrics thus making informed lifestyle choices.</span></p>
