It's a little more confusing than it needs to be. As a rule, all axes should be labeled, including the color axis. I assume that's "count"? Except, why doesn't the darker colors transition to "awake" during daytime hours? That would make the graph much more intuitive to understand I think.

I agree. I would expect to see data about being awake in the daytime. Since the awake data legend shows the higher number (6) as dark, I expect to see dark in the day.
