Smartphones were originally mainly used for making phone calls and playing games, but as they become more powerful and are equipped with a wide variety of sensors new use cases become interesting. One of these use cases is sleep monitoring, which is interesting for many different research areas. The goal of this bachelor thesis is to develop a sleep monitoring framework for the Android platform which can be used easily by third party applications. The framework takes care of detecting sleep related events like snoring and movement as well as monitoring the ambient light during the night. Additionally, a demo application is developed to demonstrate the functionality of the framework and to highlight some best practices regarding Android background services as they are essential for monitoring sleep.
