a minute

That's an overestimate of the time it takes to submit data via the Android Beeminder app by about an order of magnitude, at least if your phone within reach of hand from your bed.

No. It isn't. Even when my iPad is on my bed.

Generally I must:

  1. open my eyes (after my brain spits up the info that I've forgotten to do it)

  2. grab the iPad

  3. switch it on

  4. swipe and type in my PIN

  5. click the main button to get from my alarm-clock screen to the icon-menu

  6. swipe through menus until I get to the app

  7. load the app

  8. then do the updating on the actual app

  9. double-click the home button co I can:

  10. close the app, then click back on my alarm-clock app

  11. switch off.

  12. put the iPad back in position on the bed

  13. close my eyes

  14. try and get back into the restful frame of mind for sleep that I was in before all this.

I count steps 1-13 as being roughly a minute of time. I reckon step 14 is the doozy...
